At NSFW, we focused on selecting producers using the latest trends in sustainable winemaking practices. NSFW suppliers forward-thinking bars, restaurants, hotels and retailers who align with our values. NSFW choose only producers that meet at least one of the following sustainability practices.
1) Regenerative farming practices
2) Alternative packaging
3) Minimal Intervention winemaking
We visit the vineyards, wineries and taste test many producers so you can pick a bottle that NSFW has imported with the knowledge that the product you are drinking has a lower impact on the environment & you. We also have a great time doing the research for you too. Sit back and enjoy the labour of the producers and our hard work.

Regenerative farming practices
A group of wine producers have pledged to adopt regenerative farming practices. They aim to preserve and enhance the land where they cultivate their grapes. By implementing farming techniques such as cover cropping, composting, and minimal tillage, these wine producers can promote soil health and biodiversity, all while minimizing their carbon footprint.
Alternative packaging
The wine industry is witnessing innovation in alternative packaging. Several winemakers are exploring new options, such as cans, kegs, and pouches, to reduce waste and lower shipping costs. These containers are both eco-friendly and convenient for consumers who seek to enjoy a glass of wine without opening an entire bottle. An interesting fact is that when you purchase wine in alternative packaging, the can or cardboard will be turned into electricity once you are finished. In contrast, a glass bottle has an 89% chance of going into the landfill.
Minimal Intervention winemaking
A recent trend in the winemaking industry is the adoption of minimal intervention techniques. This method involves minimizing the use of additives and instead relying on natural fermentation and ageing processes to showcase each grape varietal's unique flavours and characteristics. By allowing the wine to fully express itself, winemakers can create genuinely unique and unforgettable vintages that will impress even the most discerning wine enthusiasts.
