ECO-FRIENDLY BOTTLING

IT’S NOT JUST ALL ABOUT THE TASTE

FRENCH RABBIT WINE

While glass bottles are 100% recyclable, their production is carbon intensive. In an effort to cut transportation costs, lower carbon emissions, and reduce landfill volume, the producers of French Rabbit Wine packaged all of their varieties in Tetra-Prisma containers. 100% recyclable, the packaging is reduced by 90% when compared to glass bottles, as are emissions and greenhouse gases during shipping. The lightweight containers weigh only three percent of the total weight and have a twist off cap, a collapsible design, and yield two extra glasses per container. French Rabbit is also partnered with American Forests to help replant trees. For every four French Rabbit Wines sold, one tree is planted.

DEL MAGUEY MEZCALS

Del Maguey employs over a hundred Zapotec Indian women in Oaxaca solely to weave the beautiful, traditional color baskets each bottle of this Mezcal is sold with. Each different village mezcal has its own unique hand-woven palm fiber basket. It takes one woman an entire day to weave each cover for a bottle. Maintaining the authenticity of the baskets and adapting the traditional basket-weaving skills in the Zapotec or Mixtec Indian design allows Del Magueuy to support entire villages financially. Each Del Maguey Mezcal bears the name of the remote village where it’s produced. The Del Maguey Mezcals are entirely organic and are only available in exclusive quantities to preserve the four hundred year old process, traditional style, and quality.

360 VODKA

McCormick Distilling Company Inc. created their super-premium vodka with the environment in mind. Not only do they use ecologically sound methods in the production of the vodka, the bottling and marketing are just as green. The bottle is produced using 85% recycled glass and uses 100% recycled, chlorine-free paper for labeling, and all the shipping containers and marketing collateral are made from recycled material. When empty, the bottle can be reused for water, olive oil, etc., thanks to the signature swing-top closure, which can also be detached and returned to the distillery for reuse. For every swing-top closure received, the brand donates one dollar to their environmental partner, Global Green USA.
