We've stuck our necks out and gone green! OBiKWA is the first South African wine to switch to new environmentally friendly 350g ultra lightweight green bottles which are 25% lighter. We're also proud to say we've got a high five from Mother Nature by adhering to eco-friendly practices throughout our entire wine production process. Whether you're a sucker for Shiraz, mad for Merlot or batty about Sauvignon Blanc, you're still assured of down-to-earth, adventurous natural wines. When you next open your bottle of our environmentally friendly wine, you'll be producing less waste and CO2 emissions. Think about it, you really can help save our planet one bottle of wine at a time. So go on, stick your neck out and let's drink responsibility for a sustainable future!
