The gifting ecosystem is undergoing a major shift this year. The best gifts today are not only beautiful, they are also meaningful. Gifts should reflect our values, act as conversation starters, and lessen our footprint here on Earth.
We are aware of this cultural shift at Just Enough Wines. We have premium California wine, in a can, made to be given and consumed in the reality of the way we live (and give) today.
This is conscious indulgence. This is a wine that tastes good and is also good for the planet. Whether you are gifting for a friend who is sustainability-minded or you want your gift to feel elevated, canned wine feels right for our modern lifestyles and for the planet.
Let's talk about it.
Redefining Eco-Friendly Gifting
Gifting is no longer about opulence; it's about intention. People are looking for meaning or experiences that are aligned with their own values, not just more stuff.
At Just Enough Wines, we believe great wine should be as kind to the planet as it is delicious in your glass. Every can we craft is a conscious choice: sustainably sourced, thoughtfully packaged, and designed to reduce waste from vineyard to final sip.
Canned wine is lightweight, recyclable, easy to ship, and creates minimal waste. It travels well, chills quickly, and delivers exactly what you are looking for. Nothing more, nothing less.
This is gifting that feels good in every way.
Why Canned Wine Is the Smarter, Greener Choice
Here's why, all things considered, aluminum has a better environmental profile than glass:
-
Lower carbon footprint: Cans can be transported more efficiently than bottles, so there are lower emissions for every mile, from the winery to your door.
-
100% recyclable: Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely, without losing its quality. It's one of the most recycled materials on earth and always stays in the loop instead of in a landfill.
-
Less packaging waste: our lightweight aluminum cans require far less packaging to ship than traditional glass bottles, reducing excess materials while still giving you exactly the amount you want.
-
Efficient production: From sustainable vineyards to minimal intervention winemaking, canned wines have the lightest environmental footprint through and through.
Our cans aren't a shortcut; they're a conscious choice that pairs modern design with old-world craftsmanship. You're getting the same quality and care, just packaged smarter.
Inside Just Enough Wines: Sustainability from Grape to Can
This is our approach to sustainability:
-
Sustainable grape growth. We collaborate with ethical vineyards situated along California's Central Coast, where the growers prioritize soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity.
-
Energy-efficient production. We practice minimal-intervention winemaking, using less water and generating less waste, all while respecting the inherent beauty of the fruit at the heart of our wines.
-
Lightweight shipment. Our aluminum cans have a significantly lighter carbon footprint than glass, primarily due to the material's lighter weight and ease of movement, stacking, and shipping. All of this, from beginning to end, significantly reduces the ecological impact on our environment.
Zero compromise on quality. Every ounce of our canned products maintains flavor and freshness while reducing our environmental footprint.
And if you’re wondering if canned wine can hold its own against bottled wine? Our Brut Bubbles received a 92-point rating from Wine Enthusiast, among many other top ratings our wines have received. Quality and sustainability can exist wonderfully together when done properly.
