Veganuary Inspo: Plant-based, Sea Change Wines

Veganuary is a month that celebrates all things plant-based, and is the ideal time to make some changes. When it comes to your favourite tipple, why not give Sea Change a go? An eco-conscious wine with a wide range of gorgeous vegan and organic options to suit every taste.

The range, with its stunning Otter labels, introduces a lesser-known red varietal, Bobal, and a classic white Chardonnay. Both wines use organic grapes that grow in healthy soil, therefore producing heartier skins and high concentrations of good-for-you antioxidants, including polyphenols and resveratrol to bring vibrancy to every drop. What’s more, the production process means only naturally occurring sulfites are present, rather than any being added.

In true Sea Change style, with each bottle sold, a donation is made to marine conservation charities. This helps to make sure the oceans stay clean and safe for the wildlife that live in them for many years to come. So you can help to make a difference whilst enjoying a quality, vegan glass of wine.

Give a toast to the planet with this classic selection of easy-drinking wines, to suit any palate!
