Made by hand in Kitzeck, Styria

Candles, pictures and glasses made from the bottles of great wines.

We are a small family business in Kitzeck in the Sausal hills. Our bottles come from wine estates, from restaurants and from you. We keep the glass and the label and make a candle, a vase or a tumbler of it.

Every bottle has an address.

We collect the bottles from wineries and restaurants across Austria; the wines come from Burgundy, Bordeaux and Styria, among other places. The label stays on the glass. For the Connaisseur candle and the reFlower vase, you pick the wine region.

Atelier

By hand, in southern Styria.

We collect empty bottles from wineries, wine taverns and restaurants. In Kitzeck im Sausal we cut and grind them by hand and pour the wax. Used wax is remelted and mixed with fresh wax; without it, the scent and burning time would be off.

The atelier

From your own bottles

The bottle from your wedding, as a candle.

Send your bottles to Kitzeck. We make them into a Connaisseur candle, with the label left on.

Connaisseur B-Y-O

Origin

Handmade

Refill

When the candle has burnt down, we refill the same glass.
