Two Raccoons

Cheers for the shout, Scot Gov!

***Trader Announcement***



Haven’t got your mulled wine in yet??

We’ve got you covered 😁

The Two Raccoons are bringing bottles of their amazing mulled wine to Uddingston Food Market this Sunday

Two Raccoons and a Highland Coo walk into a bar...

If you want to hear the punchline come and see us at the Royal Bank of Scotland Pavillion! We will be serving the best sustainable Scottish wine made from fruit surplus you will find at the show! And that's a Raccoon Guarantee! 🍷

We will be there Saturday and Sunday from 9am to 6pm. 🦝🦝

It's World Cocktail Day, and this year there has been a big focus on ways we can make mixology more sustainable. We have posted three cocktails in the lead up to today which introduce our sustainable, food waste fighting, wines into your cocktail menu. 🍸

The journey to a sustainable future is a long one, so let's take time to appreciate how far we have come, and always remember to take a moment to enjoy a drink with our friends along the way! 🥂 Happy World Cocktail Day!

🌟BINDERELLA🌟 Mother of scavengers, protector of the bins 🦝🦝

This Mother's Day, we are celebrating the true surplus goddess, the one and only Binderella 🪄🍌

🎶Many songs have been written about Binderella, originating from the coast of Montrose by fellow raccoons. She is believed to have superpowers, such as helping you find avocados in the bin if you ask her nicely 🥑

🎨There are only a few artefacts left in the Scottish wilderness depicting our bin-diving guardian angel, but we managed to catch a quick glimpse of the gorgeous work by , who managed to distill the essence of what Binderella is really about 🍒🙌🥭

❤️We hope you will celebrate the caring, nurturing and heart-warming beings in your life today. And if you are still missing a present for them, we've got some wonky and wonderful wines at our stockists across Scotland 😘

TWO RACCOONS ARE EXPANDING 🦝🦝

Finally, we can tell you our big plans for 2023 🥳 We are setting up our new winery in Glasgow!

Glasgow is home to most of Scotland's fruit surplus, and to prevent as much waste as possible and reduce transport CO2 emissions, we have decided to expand our wine production to Glasgow.

We are SO excited to showcase a bunch of new flavours using all of the surplus we are now able to scavenge in the underground city of traffic cones and rabbit holes 🚨🐰

So what will this mean to our winery in Aberdeen? As we are only a small raccoon family, we will temporarily put this on hold for now to put all of our effort into our new space in Glasgow. But we hope to be able to open up again as quickly as possible once we've rummaged for more extravagant surplus 🍒🫐🍌

In the meantime, you can still find your favourite raccoon wines at our Aberdeen retailers and on your doorstep through our website. But expect some mad flavours stocked there soon! 🥂😋

We love our fellow raccoon community, and we're excited to share all of the new projects and experiments with you 💛

Thank you for being part of our journey, supporting our mission to fight food waste by drinking delicious wine, and giving us the opportunity to chase our wildest scavenger dreams 🦝🌟🌕

We're so excited to show you our new Raccoon lock-up once it's all ready. Patience, fellow rascal, and you shall soon taste what we're hiding in our tanks 😘

Cheers!

It's Burns night on Wednesday, so to get into the spirit of things we have written a little poem for our fellow Raccoons! 🖋️🦝🦝🍷

Translation:
Secret box of treasures,
Full of fruity pleasures.

I make your surplus wine
And oh my goodness, it's awfully good!

Food waste is not a joke,
When there are lots of starving people.

And though you are often smelly,
Back I’ll always be coming.

Slàinte!!

Cheers 🥂 to another year ahead of fighting food waste by making great wine from fruit surplus.

Keep your keen raccoon ears to the ground as 2023 is going to be exciting. Who knows, perhaps wine might not be the only tool being brought to the food waste fight! 🦝
