Did these people not learn anything from paper straws? Like, nobody's falling for this.

Yup, you "some companies" go right on ahead using those paper wine bottles. I'm gonna pass and so is everyone else who loves wine. As a compromise, however, when I feel like really getting a good buzz going for climate change, I'll go ahead and pick up a box wine. How's that sound?

From CBS News:

A British company is replacing glass wine bottles with a unique paper alternative, and bringing the product to the United States. Frugalpac designs and manufactures paper wine bottles in an effort to help decarbonize the drink industry.

"The overall carbon footprint is much, much lower on a paper bottle than it is on the equivalent glass bottle. We believe it's up to six times lower," Frugalpac's product director JP Grogan told CBS News.

The Frugalpac bottle weighs less than 3 ounces — almost five times lighter than a conventional glass bottle, saving on fuel and emissions in transport. Because each bottle starts its life flat-packed, it also means more of them can be transported at once.

No. No. Aaaaaand, no.

Not doing it, though that compromise up there still stands.

Some reactions:

That last one really smacks: How about it, climate wackos at CBS? Why not just stop drinking wine altogether if you love the planet so much?

This right here is what does it for me:

Wine put into paper bottles won't have as long a shelf-life as that packaged in conventional glass, however. The company estimates red wine can be kept for 18 months in its bottles, while white wine will only last around a year.

Call it sustainable or whatever you'd like, but I ain't drinking wine out of a paper bottle.
