Additionally, the recycled nature of the bottles helps minimise their environmental impact.

Each bottle features a natural cork stopper topped with wood and is sealed using a recyclable shrink closure.

Redsmith says that the bottle’s ‘greenish-blue’ colour, resulting from recycling, coupled with its short choker neck and ‘occasional bubbles or other perfect imperfections’, add a touch of ‘rustic charm.’

According to the company, the shift to this new packaging solution has also led to a total revamp of the brand.
