10 Rules For Responsible Tippling
At Tipple Tours, we believe responsible travel means leaving every place better than we found it — preferably with fewer empty bottles lying around. Here’s how we keep things classy while clinky.
Leave No Wine Behind: Drink every last drop (responsibly, of course), recycle the bottles like a hero and make sure the only thing left behind is laughter echoing in the vineyard.
Walk Between Bars: Save the planet and your taxi money by walking from one glass to the next. Bonus: stumbling is surprisingly eco-friendly and practically carbon neutral.
Recycle Like a Pro: Toss bottles, cans and corks into the recycling like an Olympic sport. If only dignity were recyclable, we’d be truly sustainable.
Souvenirs Done Right: Take selfies, not pint glasses. Memories pack better than bar stools and photos don’t leak in your suitcase (unlike that bottle you swore was sealed).
Laugh Loud, Leave Light: Make noise with joy, not litter. Responsible travel means clinking glasses, not clinking plastic bags against the wind. Spread laughter, not landfills.
Hydrate Responsibly: For every glass of wine, grab a glass of water. For every pint of beer, snack on some bread. It’s called balance and it works better than yoga.
Snack Local: Support the farmers, bakers, cheesemakers and tapas-makers who keep us alive between tastings. Snacks aren’t side dishes — they’re cultural education disguised as hangover prevention.
Respect Local Customs: When locals raise a glass, raise yours. When they sing, sing louder. When they dance, join in — badly, but with enthusiasm. It’s about respect, not rhythm.
Travel Light, Drink Heavy: Pack fewer clothes and more space for bottles. Future You will thank Present You when unpacking involves uncorking instead of laundry.
Clink with Care: Eye contact, steady hand, big smile. A proper toast is sustainable friendship-making — and prevents spilled drinks, which is the ultimate crime against nature.
