The height of the bottle is typically determined by the label placement, but we offer the option for clients to specify the bottle’s height. These candles make for a thoughtful, sentimental gift, as you can provide a bottle with personal significance. Veuve clicquot, Graham Beck and Moet Chondon are popular choices of champagne bottles for candles.
For bulk orders, Upcycle can source the bottles or clients can supply their own bottles, allowing for greater personalization and sustainable reuse. Every candle not only smells amazing but is also socially responsible, made from high-quality ingredients and thoughtfully handcrafted by individuals from underprivileged communities who are being empowered with knowledge about climate change and sustainability.

Environmental impact: Upcycling glass bottles and transforming them into candles has a significant positive environmental impact. By repurposing used wine, champagne, and other glass bottles, we reduce the demand for new glass production, which is an energy-intensive process involving the extraction of raw materials like sand and limestone. Reusing existing bottles also helps divert waste from landfills, where glass can take thousands of years to decompose. Additionally, upcycling glass into candles minimizes the carbon footprint associated with recycling processes and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This creative reuse not only saves energy but also contributes to a circular economy, where materials are continually repurposed, lowering the overall environmental impact.
