SPECIAL MENTION: The standard glass wine bottle was created to meet the shipping needs of the 19th century. London-based Garçon Wines believes it’s invented one that meets the needs of today. The Flat Wine Bottle is exactly what it sounds like. Made entirely from lightweight recycled materials, it’s 87% lighter and 40% smaller than an average glass bottle, reducing emissions by saving on shipping space and weight. —Jared Lindzon
