ReCork Reusing a Renewable Resource

Collecting cork at the Grammy's

ReCORK will be rock'n'rolling this Sunday, February 13th at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards! We're happy to team up with our friends at 100% Cork to collect bottle closures at two events serving wine sealed exclusively with natural cork.

The two supported events are the MusicCares® Person of the Year fundraiser, honoring Barbra Steisand on February 11th and the official GRAMMY celebration® two days later.

“Choosing cork over petroleum‐based or metal wine stoppers is one of the many small but helpful decisions that consumers can make every day to improve the health of our planet,” said Allen Hershkowitz, Ph.D., a senior scientist at the Natural Resources Defense Council. “I applaud the GRAMMYs® and other high‐profile events that have embraced sustainability programs to protect biodiversity and reduce their carbon footprints.”
