Recycle those Corks from your fine Oregon Wine

As you uncork these fine wines, keep in mind the Oregon’s winemakers that are stewards of the land. Many use sustainable farming practices in their vineyards where they delicately nurture the vines to produce incredible wines.

ReCORK was founded by Canadian footwear brand SOLE in 2008 and quickly grew to become North America’s largest natural cork recycling program. With the help of an extensive network of Collection Partners they’ve collected more than 130 million natural wine corks for recycling to date.

An unharvested cork oak tree lives an average of around 75 years. That life span increases to 200, 250 or even longer when trees undergo regular bark harvests. This remarkable example of sustainable agriculture is just one of the reasons we love cork, and we think it’s a shame for this incredible natural material to go to waste! Give your natural wine corks a second life with us!

Find Cork Collection Boxes

Look for Cork collection boxes in grocery stores, wine and bottle shops, and wine tasting rooms across the country. Collection Partners can be found on the ReCORK locations finder, and include wineries, liquor stores, office spaces, grocery stores, and more. For Oregon Location Search ‘Oregon’.

Oregon wine country is truly spectacular in scenery and in wine.

Oregon’s cooler climate is responsible for its signature grape – Pinot Noir, but there are more than 700 wineries, 1,000+ vineyards and 70+ varieties of grapes in all. Come stay near our vineyards and choose your favorite.

For a true taste of Oregon Geotourism we invite you to explore the Wine Regions in our Oregon Wine Country and taste some of our quality wines. Be sure to take some home for your personal wine cellar and as gifts for family and friends.

Make your reservation at an Oregon Bed and Breakfast Guild member inn. Ask your innkeeper about the best upcoming winery events and tastings. Then, when your Oregon Wine Country vacation is done and you’ve savored the last drop of Oregon wine be sure to recycle the cork.
