'Sixty Vines' is a restaurant that prides itself on quality wine and eco-consciousness, this new line of sustainable cork products reflects the brand's commitment to being eco-friendly. This set of cork products is created entirely from recycled corks from restaurant guests in exchange for a free drink, and corks stored by restaurant servers that were used in service. These corks were recycled into a stylish cork-themed product line, handcrafted by local artists.
Sold exclusively on the new Sixty Vines e-commerce website, the product line features watches, coasters, wine tags, passport holders, tote bags, and a journal, all of which are made with a cork base. Even the packaging that these products come in will be sustainable and reusable.
On top of this, proceeds gained from sales of this new cork-based product line will be donated to funds that support 'wine country' around the world.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sustainable Cork Products
- There is a growing trend towards eco-friendly, sustainable products made from recycled wine corks that offer innovative, stylish alternatives to traditional materials.
- Restaurant Self-sustainability
- More restaurants are adopting self-sustainable practices, such as recycling, upcycling, and donating proceeds to charitable causes, allowing for greater brand differentiation and customer loyalty.
- Local Artisanal Goods
- Consumers are increasingly interested in purchasing locally-made, artisanal goods that support small businesses and showcase unique craftsmanship, providing opportunities for local artists and makers to collaborate with brands and retailers.
Sectors Adopting This
- Hospitality
- Hotels, restaurants, and bars can leverage the trend of sustainable cork products to promote eco-consciousness and enhance their brand image, offering guests innovative and stylish products with a positive social impact.
- Retail
- Retailers can capitalize on the increasing demand for sustainable and locally-made goods by partnering with local artists and makers to create unique and eco-friendly offerings that differentiate their brand and attract socially-conscious consumers.
- Wine and Spirits
- Wineries, breweries, and distilleries can benefit from the trend of sustainable cork products by adopting eco-friendly practices and materials in their packaging and marketing, while also supporting charitable causes relevant to the wine and spirits industry.
