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.
