Simple Sustainable Wine Tips You Can Actually Use

Simple Sustainable Wine Tips You Can Actually Use

Living sustainably doesn’t have to mean a total lifestyle overhaul. Sometimes, the smallest change, like how you sip wine or toss your cork, can create a meaningful impact.

At Scout & Cellar, sustainability isn’t just something we talk about. It’s built into everything we do, from soil to sip.

Below are four simple and stress-free ways to make your wine ritual a little greener.


🍾 1. Reuse Your Wine Bottles

Finished your Clean-Crafted™ bottle? Don’t toss it — repurpose it.

Our bottles make beautiful, minimalist home decor pieces:

  • Use one as a flower vase on your dining table

  • Fill with filtered water and use as a carafe

  • Drop in a taper candle for an instant candle holder

One bottle = great wine and functional decor.

📦 2. Recycle Your Shipping Materials

Every single piece of our order boxes are fully recyclable (including the inserts and dividers).

Be sure to:

  • Break down the cardboard box

  • Remove and flatten internal inserts

  • Add them to your curbside recycling bin

This small step keeps unnecessary waste out of landfills.

🌱 3. Compost Your Corks

We primarily use natural corks for our Clean-Crafted™ wines. These natural corks are a renewable material that can go straight into your compost bin.

Not composting? No problem:

  • Save corks for a DIY craft project

  • Collect them in a jar as wine memories

  • Donate to local programs that upcycle corks into flooring or insulation

Want to go even greener? Select wines with minimal packaging and clean ingredients.

What’s the easiest way to support sustainable wine? Buy bottles from wine brands that use natural ingredients, eco-friendly methods, and are committed to transparency for their customers.

Our Clean-Crafted Commitment® means:

  • Organically or biodynamically grown grapes

  • No synthetic pesticides or harsh additives

  • Regenerative farming wherever possible

  • Lower intervention, lower sulfites, no added sugar

Every one of our bottles supports a more sustainable future, from soil to sip.

Sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. With every small step — reusing a bottle, composting a cork, or choosing Clean-Crafted™ wine — you’re joining us in a movement that puts the planet first.

So go ahead: pour yourself a glass, and feel good about what you’re supporting with every sip.
