Wine Bottling Options

Want the best for your wine? Cork-finish wine bottles do the absolute best job of preserving your wine. We offer standard green and clear glass cork finish bottles – available individually at $2.75 – $28.99Price range: $2.75 through $28.99 per case of 12.

Just starting out or need a full set of bottles for gifts? A full batch is 2.5 cases – we offer a 15% discount when you buy a full batch of bottles at once.

We also offer 4.5L wine bags for $3.25/ea. Wine bags are a convenient option that take up less space, are lighter weight and easier to transport and are fast to fill. While they aren’t ideal for long term aging of your wine, they’re a great choice if you’ll be drinking it within 6 months. We also carry a few styles of cardboard wine boxes designed to fit our bags.

Reusing bottles? No problem! Make sure your bottles have been rinsed out WELL with hot water after you’ve finished them, and keep bottles stored upside down.

We do not recommend reusing screw-top bottles – our corking machines WILL insert a cork in to a screw top bottle, but screw top bottles have very thin glass and can fracture easily. We are not responsible for broken bottles. For best results, consider purchasing our NovaTwist reusable screw tops.

Looking for small bottles for giveaways, gifts, party favours, or want to bottle up desert wine? We have 375mL bottles in green and flint available individually for $2.99 – $52.99Price range: $2.99 through $52.99 per case of 24. You’ll need 2.5 cases for a full batch.

CUSTOM WINE LABELS

Adding custom printed labels is one of the easiest ways to make your wine feel complete. Whether you’re giving bottles as gifts, celebrating an event, or just want your cellar to look sharp, labels make your batch look every bit as good as it tastes.

We print your labels right here in the shop on professional-grade material that’s water-resistant and designed to stay put. You can choose from half-wrap or full-wrap styles to suit your bottles, and we can print any design you submit.

If you’re planning to do labels, it’s best to submit your final design in advance so we can have them ready for bottling day. We don’t do design work ourselves, but we’re happy to print any layout you create. Many customers design their labels using free online tools or templates, then upload the finished artwork through our Custom Labels page.

Matched bottles make a big difference here too — if you’re using new bottles from us, the labels will line up perfectly, giving your wine that professional finish.

You can learn more about sizes, pricing, and how to submit your design on our main Custom Labels page.

USED WINE BOTTLES

“Can I save up bottles and bring them in?”

Of course! Many of our customers re-use commercial bottles. BC Provincial regulations require that you remove or deface any commercial labels that may be on your bottles – a simple sharpie “X” across the label is sufficient, or you can apply some of our custom labels over top.

Screw top bottles are not recommended. We do not have a source for replacement screw top caps. Corks can be used with screw top bottles, however the glass is very thin in the threaded area. Screw top bottles may shatter during corking. We are not responsible for loss of product due to broken bottles.

We do not buy or sell used wine bottles.

Please note: Since we cannot ensure the cleanliness of reused bottles, we cannot guarantee wine bottled in reused bottles.

CARING FOR YOUR BOTTLES

Cleanliness is everything! Rinse your bottles immediately after emptying them and store them upside down to ensure all moisture drains out. Leftover wine leads to mold, which is extremely difficult to remove from your bottles effectively.

Never use dish soap to clean your wine bottles. Dish soap leaves residue behind which will affect the flavour of your wine. We recommend using Sani-Brew or PBW for cleaning bottles.
