Monash University students have created Wonki, a conscious alcoholic seltzer brand that uses irregularly shaped fruit that would otherwise go to landfill.
In addition to tapping into the growing seltzer trend, the product also ticks an important environmental box. It’s the first of its kind in Australia to be sourced entirely from fruit and to successfully preserve the fruit during the manufacturing process.
With 5% alcohol content, Wonki comes in fully-recyclable packaging, and flavours change seasonally. Wonki is up for pre-sale on crowdfunding platform Pozible, with the aim of raising AUD 30,000 by 14 April 2023.
