The Hidden Sea Wines take 10 plastic bottles out of the ocean for every bottle sold. We talk to Richie Vandenberg, the man behind the brand (and much to Mel's delight, ex-Hawthorn captain) to understand how it works.

Bear with us for the audio in the first few minutes, the mics got fuzzy when we got excited - it clears up ;)

Wines tasted:
2021 Hidden Sea Sauvignon Blanc
2021 Hidden Sea GSM
