Recycle your natural corks with us! ♻️
Do you have a collection of corks at home that you don’t know what to do with? Recycle them in our UK Cork Harvest recycling bin at our wine shop and bar.

Natural cork is a 100% renewable and recyclable so you can be part of putting circularity at the heart of wine culture.

The collected natural corks will be used for soil enrichment, root protection, and horticultural research at The Eden Project in Cornwall.
