Reducing our carbon footprint 26 Sep 2021 Eynsham Cellars is trying to go green for planet earth

We have recently been looking into ways that we as a business can reduce our carbon footprint, and support local producers. The shop has witnessed a bit of a boost for local producers of late. With so many local brewers to choose from we can now boast that 6 out of 7 of our ales are made in Oxfordshire. Wine is getting there. Most of it is imported of course but our English range has grown considerably. Quality, rather than politics, is the biggest factor here, with English Sparkling continuing to win trophies and gold medals at international competitions, much to the annoyance of our french friends. So next time you're having a celebration, why not opt for English fizz?

We have also done some things around the shop that are worth a mention:

- Going 'plastic free' for our courier shipments (you can see our recycled cardboard inserts above the wine shelves

- Opting out of stocking plastic bottles of water

- Switching to a renewable energy supplier

- Installing a shopfront awning to protect our bottles from the morning sun, whilst reducing our air-conditioning requirements by approximately 65%.
