Carrefour To Build Wine Bottling Plant In Bordeaux

France's largest supermarket chain Carrefour has announced that it is to construct a new wine bottling plant in the Bordeaux region.

The company said in a statement that it intends to build the new facility in Beychacet-Caillau, Bordeaux, under its trader banner Johannes Boubée.

The world's second largest retailer hope that the new facility will be operational by the middle of 2015, and will have a production capacity of around 45 million litres as it manufactures both glass bottles and bag-in-box wines.

French news provider Les Echos say that the new facility will create 35-40 jobs and that the total invested will be somewhere between €8 million and €12 million.

Johanes Boubée currently owns three bottling plants in Lille, Nîmes and Bayeux. Bought by Carrefour in 1999, Johanes Boubée currently sells 300 million litters of wine a year and employs 600 people in seven different locations.
