In the vast factory, I am surrounded by the packing lines. Despite the huge space, there are not many workers, most of whom are either adjusted robots or wandering on the trucks of the spinal leverage. Complex machines loaded with wheels of stickers sits for some of the largest wine brands in the United Kingdom from Australia, California, Chile. This is the Encirc factory in Eltham, Cheshire, where the company cultivates 337 million liters of wholesale wine every year.
