Plastic-free packaging prevails: The Isle of Wight Distillery celebrates international design award

We’re delighted to announce that just six months after its relaunch, Memaid Gin has been presented with a prestigious international award. Coming up against competition from around the world, Mermaid Gin was awarded first place in the International Wine and Spirit Competition for its strikingly sculpted design, which is 100% plastic-free, with a wood topped cork and unique plant-based tamper proof seal.

Xavier Baker, co-founder at the Isle of Wight Distillery said:

“This award is proof that a commitment to being plastic-free and 100% recyclable doesn’t mean you have compromise on style. Thanks to a brilliant team and our partners, we’ve managed to balance both. This is such a prestigious award – we couldn’t be more pleased. It’s really an award for this innovative island as much as Mermaid.”
