Single Serve Packaging

About

Background

The Single Serve concept came about while Georgia Beattie was at a Melbourne festival in 2009 and witnessed the limitations of wine packaging when a bar manager couldn’t serve wine because ‘it was too hard at outdoor events’. Since then, Georgia has launched the brand Lupé Wines which was named BRW’s ‘Top 10 Start-Ups To Watch 2012′ as well as the contract packaging arm of the company Single Serve Packaging Pty Ltd.

The Beattie Family are a mix of wine lovers and wine makers with a passion for the outdoors hence the direction of the Family Business. Georgia’s Father Brendon Beattie is a wine maker, importer of Rousseau French Oak Barrels and owner of Swords Wines a collection boutique wine stores. Georgia is a wine enthusiast with a passion for business after studying Entrepreneurship in both Melbourne, Australia and Boston, USA. Georgia’s Brother Thomas Beattie, also a wine enthusiast takes care of domestic sales and marketing. It wasn’t until the Beattie’s launched their house brand Lupé as a trial in Japan, Korea and Singapore that she realised the potential this package had for the Australian Wine Industry in the Asian export market.

Australia has a history of leading innovations within the wine industry. It was Thomas Angove from Angove’s Wines who created the cask wine box innovation in 1970 which is now an internationally used form of wine packaging. Beer and spirits have managed to create convenient packaging, we’re here to continue this tradition and set Australia apart from the rest.
