Our Promise: Sustainable Wines with Purpose in San Diego

Sustainable wines. Transparent sourcing. Diverse voices.

At Esquina Wine Shop, we’re redefining what a wine shop can be. As a female-led business in San Diego, we prioritize wines that align with our values: low-intervention farming, eco-friendly packaging, and diverse winemakers doing things differently.

 

♻️ Smarter Packaging, Lower Impact

We stock wines that rethink waste and carbon:

  • Lightweight glass (under 500g) = lower emissions

  • Boxed wine = 85% less packaging waste

  • Cans + bags = chill-friendly, travel-ready, recyclable

  • Natural + recyclable closures—no unnecessary foils, ever

Every packaging choice is intentional. Less weight. Less waste. More wine.

 

🧑🌾 Winemakers We Believe In

We center voices that are often left out of the wine world:

  • Women breaking industry norms

  • BIPOC producers shaping new narratives

  • LGBTQ+ winemakers owning their craft

  • Small producers who care more about quality than volume

These wines don’t just taste good—they stand for something.

 

🌱 Radical Transparency

We curate wines with nothing to hide:

  • Organic, biodynamic, or regeneratively farmed

  • Low-intervention, native yeast fermentations

  • Clear sourcing, honest labeling, no greenwashing

If it’s on our shelf, we’ve vetted it. You can trust it.

 

🌇 Local Love, Real Impact

Every purchase helps support:

  • Local orgs driving community + environmental change

  • San Diego + Baja wines, keeping it hyper-local
