Why Winesmiths

At Winesmiths, care for the earth has always been part of how we do things.

Since 1984, we’ve been committed to continually improving the way we make, package, and share our wine to reduce our environmental impact. Sustainability isn’t an add-on, it’s built into how Winesmiths shows up in everyday life.

Winesmiths Benefits

Freshness

The bag shrinks as the wine is extracted which leaves no space for air to enter, keeping the wine fresh for up to 6 weeks once opened.

Made for sharing

The Winesmiths format suits social gatherings and encourages sharing.

Value

Equivalent to 2.67 x 750ml wine bottles and quality wine.

Broader occasions

Transportable, lightweight, and unbreakable.

How We Make an Impact

We currently hold a 47% share of the 2-Litre Wine on Tap Category and want to ensure we’re driving sustainable actions from this alternative format.

Our eco-friendly packaging cuts greenhouse gas emissions by 62% compared to glass, helping to protect the planet while you enjoy great wine.

Wine on tap is significantly lighter than glass (91%), meaning less emissions from transport.

Wine on tap produces just 13% of post-consumer waste compared to glass.

Supporting Native Vegetation

For every hectare of vineyard we own, we preserve or plant at least one hectare of native vegetation on land we own. At Winesmiths this is our way of acknowledging that winemaking has to work seamlessly alongside nature, ensuring we are reinvigorating the land we take from in a sustainable way.

A Balanced Environment

Our integrated pest management systems and diversity in vegetation help to create a balanced environment that can thrive. Using an abundance of harmful chemicals not only goes against our ethos but, we believe, also diminishes the end result of the wine and stops the environment from being able to continually provide us with high-quality grapes for harvests to come.

Our Memberships

As part of Hill-Smith Family Estates, we were proud to achieve Gold Membership status in March 2025, joining just nine others globally. Since 2021, we've been working towards Net Zero by 2050, cutting emissions and generating over 20% of our energy on-site.

Our Greenfleet Partnership

As part of our most recent Artist collaboration, we donated $25,000 to Greenfleet to help restore native forests, protect biodiversity, and support climate action projects across Australia and New Zealand.

This contribution to Greenfleet will see the restoration of 2.5 hectares of endangered ecosystems, focusing on Ledcourt in the Grampians.
