About Old Vine Candles

Old Vine Candles - Repurposing old wine bottles into beautiful candles. It takes an estimated 1 million years for a glass bottle to decompose in the environment! While recycling is great, unfortunately not all the glass in your recycling bin will actually be recycled leaving us with the shocking fact that there are hundreds of thousands of tonnes of glass sitting in stockpiles or being sent to landfill! Repurposing glass is far less energy intensive than putting it through the recycling process, so this is what Old Vine Candles does! They collect old wine bottles, which are then hand cut and the edges carefully sanded, before being cleaned and transformed into a beautiful fragranced candle for you. Their soy wax candles are all handmade using the highest quality ingredients available, they are unique, and unlike any other you have had before. So what does wine smell like in a candle? Old Vine Candles have matched the aromatic descriptors of the wine varieties to the scents they use in the candles. When you pick up your favourite bottle have a look at it’s back label, read the descriptions, this is where the inspiration comes from. The Botanical Collection, which is also made in reclaimed wine bottles, takes it’s inspiration from our beautiful country and is available in Eucalyptus, Golden Wattle, Kakadu Plum and Lemon Myrtle.
