Oct 22, this week in Good Spirits: Celebrating Champagne

Two brands are offering eco-friendly champagne options to help you celebrate Champagne Day, the last Friday of October.

  • Champagne Telmont, a Rémy Cointreau brand, has announced they will trade the clear bottles for a lighter, recycled bottle alternative and no longer package their bottles in a gift box, reducing packaging waste and lessening shipping weights. The commitment reflects their “In the Name of Mother Nature” commitment to cutting down carbon emissions by 50% before 2030.

  • Ruinart, a maison in the LVMH group, announced a different packaging solution this time last year with their “second skin,” a wood fibre material that is recyclable, water resistant and insulating, and fits perfectly to the form of the Ruinart signature bottle. The texture was design to invoke the cuvées of Riems, where the drink is made. The packaging protects the Blanc de Blancs and Rosé de Blancs from purchase all the way until serving.

Both Ruinart and Telmont have committed to shipping by land and sea, rather than by air freight.
