Vinca organic vegan wine (in cans or metal bottles)

Wine seems simple, grapes go in, wine comes out. Yet many bottles aren’t vegan, because producers may use animal-based fining agents to make wine look clear. At the same time, “sustainable” can cover a lot, from vineyard sprays and water use to energy in the winery, packaging, and fair work.

Choosing sustainable vegan wine lets you line up your glass with your values, without turning drinking into homework. It can also suit people who avoid certain allergens, and it often supports growers who care for their land long-term.

VINCA Organic Wine is sold in cans, which use up to 70% less CO2 to transport than glass bottles. In four varieties (white, sparkling white, rosé and red), you can also mixed can bundles.

The Sicilian grapes contain naturally low levels of sulphur (from fermenting yeast), around a third of levels found on supermarket wine bottles.

For tinned foods, rinse then remove lids (pop in cans) or pop ring-pulls back over holes. Pinch or flatten cans, to stop wildlife getting trapped.

Send off used corks to Recorked, to be made into other things (corks are too dense to compost and choking hazards, if left around).

Organic wines are sealed in nifty aluminium cans, instead of bulky glass bottles. Not only does this protect the taste, but it also cuts down on much of the usual environmental harm from traditional winemaking.

Cans are lighter and more compact than glass bottles, making them a win for reduced emissions during transport.

The company also sells a pretty cooler bag for travel, which has a reversible lid that converts into a drinks tray. Cans are not just easier to recycle, but also good for people who like a glass or two of wine, and stops you finishing off the whole bottle! Delivery is free on all orders. Trade orders are welcome.

Vinca Organic Wines in Bottles

Vinca now also make wine in bottles. Including white, red and rosé. The difference is that these bottles are made from recycled aluminium rather than glass, so easy to recycle. You can even earn money for your community by getting involved in local aluminium collection programmes.

Most councils collect wine bottles (wrap broken glass in thick paper and bin). If bottle banks are full, there is usually a phone number to call (don’t leave bottles outside full banks). You only need to rinse them quickly, and you can also leave on screw-top lids and labels.
