Naked In The Vines: Nepenthe’s Cheeky Twist on Sustainability That’s Changing the Wine Industry
Discover why Nepenthe should be your wine of choice for your upcoming wine and cheese nights.
We’ve partnered with Nepenthe to showcase how you can now enjoy your favourite sips without costing the planet.
When the clock strikes five on a Friday, and the call of wine and cheese is irresistible, reaching for any bottle off the shelf might be easy, but finding a drop that tastes incredible and aligns with our values? Now that’s a perfect pairing.
Enter: Nepenthe, the Adelaide Hills winery that’s redefining sustainability in the wine industry with a cheeky twist. Leading the way with their innovative tearaway bottle caps, Nepenthe has made it possible for their entire still wine bottles to be 100% recyclable.
And with March marking global B Corporation month and Earth Day just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to bid farewell to waste and embrace a cleaner, greener way to sip.
Sustainable Sips: Nepenthe’s Innovative Tearaway Capsules
Did you know that most wine bottles aren’t fully recyclable? Traditional aluminium caps and sleeves often end up in landfills because they become separated from the glass during the recycling process. So, what can we do to make sure every bottle avoids the landfill and gets a second life?
Nepenthe has taken away those hard-to-recycle bottle caps and replaced them with a clever split-system tearaway capsule. This unique design means you’ll be able to remove the aluminium sleeve off a Nepenthe still wine bottle completely before disposal, making it even easier to ensure 100% of the bottle gets recycled.
But sustainability isn’t Nepenthe’s only forte—their cool-climate wines from the Adelaide Hills are renowned for their depth and character, crafted with care to showcase the region’s unique terroir. From the vibrant, fruity notes of the 2024 Altitude Pinot Noir to the elegant 2024 Elevation Pinot Gris, each bottle beautifully highlights the unique nuances of the Adelaide Hills.
Whether you’re popping a bottle for after-work drinks or you’re selecting the perfect crisp Chardonnay to pair with a seafood feast, you’ll find the perfect eco-friendly vino for the occasion. Plus, the credentials speak for themselves. Nepenthe is a Certified B Corporation and holds a Sustainable Wine growing Australia accreditation, proving their commitment to environmental responsibility goes beyond the bottle. You can sip with confidence, knowing you’re doing your part for the planet.
Let’s Get Naked In The Vines with Nepenthe
While sustainability might be serious business, Nepenthe’s playful new campaign brings a refreshing take to the conversation. With a cheeky nod to the everyday freedom we all crave, symbolising the freedom that comes with stripping away unnecessary waste. Just like the vineyard workers, we can now peel away the bottle cap completely, leaving a fully ‘naked’ bottle ready for recycling. No waste, no fuss.
Master the Art of Recycling
We all want to do our part for the planet and value the importance of recycling, but many of us still struggle to get it right. With complex rules, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Lucky for you, there’s only one thing you need to remember when it comes to recycling a Nepenthe still wine bottle. Just make sure you remove the aluminium tearaway capsule completely before tossing the glass bottle into your kerbside recycling bin—it’s that easy.
The aluminium capsule can then be recycled like any other aluminium. Scrunch them up to the size of a tennis ball so they don’t slip through the cracks during sorting, and recycle them into your kerbside bins.
Now, if you only like to enjoy a bevvy here and there (hello, kombucha or a cheeky soft drink), here are a few extra tips to make sure that aluminium gets the second life it deserves:
- For aluminium cans, remember to pop the tab back inside the can before you toss it in the recycling bin
- Any little bits of aluminium—like rogue foil wrapping? Scrunch them up to the size of a tennis ball so they don’t slip through the cracks during sorting
- And those aluminium caps on kombucha or cider bottles? Pop them in an aluminium can too, so they don’t get lost in the shuffle
Recycling doesn’t have to be hard—just keep these tips in mind and you’ll be making all the difference.
A Perfect Pairing with Nepenthe
Whether you’re indulging in a glass of Nepenthe on a balmy evening or having a little to sip and savour with friends, you can now do so knowing you’re doing your bit. With 100% recyclable packaging across all Nepenthe’s still wines, they’re proving that premium wine and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.
