Fully Recyclable Wine Bottle

Popular South African wine brand Two Oceans is now sold exclusively in lightweight 350 g bottles that are fully recyclable; the label, its inks, and adhesive are also biodegradable. The new screw cap-topped bottle is 110 g lighter than before to represent a saving of 120 kg of carbon equivalent emissions for every 1,000 bottles produced.

All Two Oceans wines are made from grapes sourced from vineyards accredited by South Africa’s highly progressive and eco-friendly Integrated Production of Wine (IPW) programme. Visit the Web site listed on the Sustainability Seal South Africa  sticker that is affixed to the bottle and enter the individual number to know more about the brand’s commitment to production integrity. The seal is backed by a sophisticated tracking system in which bottle contents are totally traceable from the growing of the grapes to how the wine is made and packaged. In South Africa, as a further mark of its environmental focus, Two Oceans supports World Wildlife Fund for Nature’s (WWF) Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) that helps to improve the conservation status of overexploited seafood in local oceans.

Widely enjoyed for great quality at excellent value prices, Two Oceans takes its name from the two great oceans that converge along the southern coast of Africa, the warm Indian and the cold Atlantic. The Cape’s coastal region enjoys a temperate climate, cooled by daytime maritime breezes from both oceans and a drop in nighttime temperatures that allow grapes to ripen slowly. Two Oceans wines have been styled to suite the taste of today’s consumer, with an emphasis on accessibility, versatility, and everyday drinking. In the same way, the opposing currents swirl and fuse, so our range of crisp whites and smooth reds shows how it is possible to combine character with elegance. The hallmark characteristics of the varietals are paramount, with concentrated fruit aromas on the nose and lively, mouth-filling flavours. The emphasis across the board is clean, fresh, ripe fruit. These are well-proportioned wines that offer pure palate pleasure, giving them celebrated appeal.
