All our wine packaging is plastic free and 100% recyclable.

Our NAKPACK® boxes are made from 70% recycled paper. The remaining 30% is new paper that guarantees the final performance of the box. However, they are also committed to a range of environmental projects including extensive tree planting through the agroforestry project Treedom®.

For all other cases, we use plastic free, 100% recyclable boxes from UK suppliers and Pulpsafe® inserts made from recycled paper.

• Plastic-free, 100% recyclable boxes from UK suppliers
• Pulpsafe® inserts made from recycled paper — recyclable, compostable, and biodegradable
• Accepted for recycling by all local councils, no specialist treatment needed (unlike many similar products)
• Made from 80% recycled material
• Compostable at home, breaking down in under 6 months — or recyclable with other paper

When you buy wine from Wine at Home, there is no middle person – just our small team working hard to bring you a fine selection of well balanced, personality-driven wines from a range of growers we know and love.

For over 25 years, we have worked exclusively with winemakers who share our values in putting passion and people before profit. They all share a common goal - to leave the land better than they found it - and to secure its delicate ecosystems for the generations to come.

We pay our growers fairly and have worked with many through three generations of the same family, and consider them to be part of ours.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral part of our business strategy and operating methods, with regular review points.

There is no middle person between the vineyard and us which allows us to choose the best way to group wines to use fewer deliveries and reduce our carbon footprint. We work with a range of partners who contribute towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 13, on climate change and are certified with SQAS, AEO, ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004 and IFS.7.
