You’ve probably noticed the wax on our bottles, right? We often get asked why do you bother waxing?
Well for us it’s one of those little details that we love because it adds something extra to the whole experience of opening a bottle of wine. It’s not just about looking pretty, though it definitely has that elegant touch. For us, waxing the bottles is a way to make the whole process feel special—a personal moment you can enjoy.
Each bottle is hand-dipped in wax, and while that might seem a bit old-school, it’s actually a gesture that says we’ve put care into every step. We want you to feel that when you pop the bottle open. There’s something about cutting through that wax and pulling the cork that just makes the moment more memorable.
And it’s not just about creating that anticipation. The wax actually serves a purpose too. It’s a bit of extra protection, keeping the wine sealed and in good shape until you’re ready to enjoy it. For those of you who like to cellar your bottles, that extra layer is a great peace of mind, knowing that your wine is being kept just as it should be until the time is right.
But honestly, waxing our bottles is more than just about practicality—it’s about making the experience of drinking our wine feel a little more personal. When you pop open a bottle, we want it to feel like more than just grabbing a drink. It’s about taking a moment to appreciate the care that’s gone into each bottle and enjoying a little luxury, even if it’s just a quiet evening at home.
Next time you grab a bottle of Northern Hope, take a moment to enjoy the process. The wax, the cork, the anticipation—because it’s all part of what makes wine so special. Here’s to creating great moments, one bottle at a time. You can buy that next wine experience here.
