Sustainability at Justerini & Brooks

Drinking fine wine shouldn’t cost the earth. We may not be a mega-polluter, but we feel it’s right to minimise our carbon footprint in whatever way we can. Whether that’s asking suppliers to reduce the size of their bottles or finding more sustainable packaging materials – we have a responsibility to find better solutions.

As a basic rule, our buyers only work with producers who make wines in ways that are both ethical and environmentally responsible.

In addition, we actively support beacons of sustainable winemaking. For example, we are now working with Felton Road in New Zealand and Chateau de Meursault – soon to be the largest certified organic estate in the Cote d’Or.

And, while our buyers always try to use trains, some destinations still aren’t serviced from King’s Cross... so we also offset all our business flights.

The little things matter, too. For example, to improve our own footprint we have partnered with delivery service Great Bear, who use hybrid delivery vans to deliver our wine. And we also now send out tasting samples in more eco-friendly 50ml and 100ml bottles.
