Setting new standards in sustainable wine

Sustainable wine packaging, production, distribution and consumption.

Testimonials

“Bristolian Anton Mann’s Xisto Wines has been shipping wine by sailboat since 2018. Around 13 pallets – holding on average 700 bottles each – sail from Porto to Bristol between two to three times a year. A single trip takes as little as ten days to complete, depending on sea conditions.”
