Of course, it all started with a glass of wine.

Meet the founder
Abbie Quansah
I had always loved the unique colors and shapes of wine bottles and was disappointed watching those glass bottles discarded as waste and not always properly recycled after use. One night, over a bottle of wine, I decided to start a hobby by crafting discarded wine bottles to be reused as decorations.
The self-taught hobby hatched a plan to promote creative repurposed alternatives and reduce discarded bottles in the landfill. Specifically, I wanted a system that actually recycled glass into something functional and unique so as a wine lover, why not upcycle?
