The Greener Glass
How Australian Producers are Rethinking How We Drink
Sustainability is no longer a niche concern in the drinks industry — it’s fast becoming standard practice.
Across Australia, winemakers, distillers and brewers are rethinking how their products are grown, made and delivered, with a growing focus on reducing environmental impact without compromising quality.
From vineyard to glass, here’s how producers are making meaningful changes — and why it matters.
Smarter Farming Practices
Many Australian producers are embracing sustainable practices, reducing chemicals while improving soil health. Local sourcing and smarter water use are also helping cut emissions and protect resources.
Reducing Waste in Production
Wastage remains a challenge, but many producers are reducing it by repurposing by-products like grape skins and spent grain. Smaller batch production is also helping minimise excess and prioritise quality over volume.
Rethinking Packaging
Packaging is a key focus, with producers turning to lightweight bottles, cans and alternative formats to cut emissions. Recycled materials and simplified labels are also on the rise, offering more sustainable choices without compromising quality.
Efficiency, Energy and Innovation
Solar power, energy-efficient equipment and smarter logistics are becoming standard across producers, with technology helping reduce waste and improve sustainability.
Why It Matters
Sustainable production isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress. For Australian producers, these changes help protect the land and communities they rely on, while ensuring future generations can continue to enjoy locally made wine, beer and spirits.
For drinkers, it means greater transparency, smarter choices and the chance to support producers who are actively working to do better.
At DrinkSpot, we’re proud to work with Australian producers who are thinking beyond the bottle — and committed to bringing those better choices directly to your door.
