Sustainable Sparkling Wines (including no/low alcohol brands)
Prosecco (an Italian sparkling wine) is now apparently the world’s most popular sparkling drink, selling far more bottles than Spanish cava and French champagne combined.
Named after a grape, the original grape must be within the drink, to legally be called Prosecco. If you don’t know your spumante from your frizzante, one is simply more bubbly than the other!
Planning a celebration? The Goodness Project sells cases of organic vegan Prosecco, sent in sustainable packaging with a free gift card. Cheers!
Vinca (organic vegan sparkling wines in cans)
Vinca offers organic wine in cans, including a sparkling variety for special occasions. Made from Grillo grapes from sun-drenched Sicilian vineyards, this is an excuse to celebrate small wines, when you need just a 200ml glass, with floral and peach notes.
Rinse tins and pop ring-pulls back over holes before recycling (pinch tops shut) to avoid wildlife getting trapped. Send used corks to Recorked, to be made into other things (corks are too dense to compost and choking hazards, if left around).

A donation is made for each bottle sold, to Born Free Foundation (which rescues zoo and circus animals, campaigns for better welfare and enables you to report concerns over captive animals).
