💚 Mmm, organic wine! Sea Change, an eco-conscious wine brand, sell organic wines produced in Southern Spain. What makes them eco-conscious? Their packaging is responsible, as they use renewable plant-based materials for the closures and grape waste for the label paper. Sea Change also contribute "a minimum of 25 euro cents to our charity partners". They have raised €150,000 so far which has funded research and supported their charity partner, Ocean Generation, filmmakers of the kick-up-the-butt film ‘A Plastic Ocean.’ Try buying anything made of plastic after that viewing. Now the only question is: red, white, or bubbly? Seachangewine.com
