Popular South African wine brand Two Oceans is now available in the US. All Two Oceans wines from the 2010 vintage carry the Sustainable Wine South Africa (SWSA) seal, backed by a sophisticated tracking system in which bottle contents can be traced back to source at every stage of the supply chain to confirm the integrity of their production. The top-selling wine is packaged in a 750 mL glass bottle.
