Since its inception, sustainability has been at the core of Sixty Vines. That’s why this holiday season, the wine-centric restaurant is taking its eco-friendly practices to the next level by giving guests the opportunity to buy products that help protect wine country!
Since April, the sustainable-first restaurant has been asking guests to recycle corks at their nearest Sixty Vines. In return, guests received a taste from the tap. Corks were then recycled and shared with local artisans who handcrafted a variety of items to be sold exclusively at SixtyVines.com. All proceeds from the ecological initiative will benefit a fund that supports wine country around the world in times of need.
Sixty Vines has launched its e-commerce site featuring the new cork products! Whether you’re at home on the couch or enjoying a tasting in Bordeaux, it’s always wine o’clock somewhere with these handmade items:
Watches (rose gold or gold) – Cork Watch from the Somm Collection. It’s the sustainable way of knowing when happy hour begins!

At Sixty Vines, a genuine effort toward sustainability and a love for Earth’s ingredients are ingrained in their DNA. Self-proclaimed “Vine Huggers”, Sixty Vines supports the greening of the wine industry from growing and vilifying to limited and reusable packaging. Sixty Vines doesn’t just practice this because caring for the environment is the right thing to do, it happens to make the wine taste better, too. Every day, with every glass poured, Sixty Vines is shaping a healthier Earth by eliminating bottles from landfills and protecting the world’s limited supply of cork.
As an innovative restaurant with a commitment to sustainability, each Sixty Vines location has a 60-tap wine system that creates and eco-friendly approach to wine service and creates the closest “from the barrel” tasting experience in hospitality. Keg wine, the base of the tap program, results in less packaging and less waste for the environment, as one keg holds 26 wine bottles and 1,500 over its refillable lifetime. This eliminates mounds of glass bottles, labels, corks, foil and shipping supplies that accompany traditional wine bottles. By using kegs and reusable bottles, Sixty Vines is saving the planet, one sip at a time!
