Merlot Upcycled Wine Bottle Soy Candle – Vegan, Sustainable Aroma Gift

Transform any space into a warm, sophisticated sanctuary with our Merlot Upcycled Wine Bottle Soy Candle – a vegan, sustainable centerpiece that combines eco-conscious design with rich, wine-inspired aromatherapy. Crafted from reclaimed wine bottles and filled with clean-burning soy wax, this beautifully unique candle delivers up to 70 hours of layered fruity fragrance—strawberry, black currant, raspberry, vanilla, and blackberry—creating a cozy, luxurious atmosphere. Perfect for wine lovers, eco-conscious homes, and anyone seeking sustainable, beautiful, aromatic décor that makes a statement.

Why This Upcycled Wine Bottle Candle Is Special:

Most candles come in generic containers that end up in landfills after the wax is gone. Our Merlot Upcycled Wine Bottle Soy Candle is different—it's sustainable, beautiful, and tells a story. Each candle is crafted from reclaimed wine bottles, giving new life to glass that would otherwise be discarded. This upcycling process reduces waste, conserves resources, and creates a unique, one-of-a-kind vessel—no two are exactly alike. The wine bottle design is elegant, sophisticated, and conversation-starting—it looks beautiful on coffee tables, dining tables, mantels, or anywhere you want to add ambiance. Clean-burning soy wax is the healthiest, most sustainable candle wax available. It's made from renewable soybeans, not petroleum-based paraffin. It burns cleaner with minimal soot and no toxins released into your air. It burns longer—up to 70 hours from this candle, giving you excellent value. It holds fragrance beautifully and releases scent evenly throughout the burn. The Merlot fragrance is rich, layered, and wine-inspired. Top notes of strawberry and black currant provide fresh, fruity brightness. Heart notes of raspberry add depth and complexity. Base notes of vanilla and blackberry create warmth, sweetness, and sophistication. The result is a fragrance that's fruity yet sophisticated, sweet yet complex, comforting yet elegant—like enjoying a glass of fine Merlot wine. After the candle burns down, the beautiful wine bottle becomes a vase, decorative piece, or storage container—extending its life even further. This is sustainable, beautiful, aromatic home décor that aligns with your values.

First Burn (Important): The first time you light your candle, allow it to burn for 2-3 hours or until the entire top surface melts into a pool of wax. This prevents tunneling and ensures even burning throughout the candle's life.

Daily Use: Trim wick to 1/4 inch before each lighting to prevent smoking and ensure clean burn. Light candle and enjoy up to 4 hours of burn time per session. The rich Merlot fragrance fills your space with warm, fruity, sophisticated aroma. Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

Creating Ambiance: Light during dinner parties for sophisticated wine-country atmosphere. Use during baths or self-care rituals for cozy, luxurious experience. Burn while reading, relaxing, or entertaining to create warm, inviting environment. Perfect for date nights, celebrations, or quiet evenings at home.

Safety: Never leave burning candle unattended. Keep away from drafts, children, pets, and flammable materials. Place on heat-resistant surface. Discontinue use when 1/2 inch of wax remains.

After Candle Burns Down: Clean out remaining wax with hot water. Use beautiful wine bottle as vase for flowers, storage for kitchen utensils, decorative piece, or anything you can imagine. The upcycled vessel continues its sustainable life.
