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 w**e shop and bar.

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

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

Happy drinking! 🍾
