Towards a Greener Future: Collaborating on Sustainable Wine Production The wine industry is at a pivotal moment, embracing more sustainable practices as consumer preferences shift towards environmentally friendly options. The increasing popularity of 'bag-in-box' wines, with their lighter, recyclable materials, points to a growing demand for sustainability. This trend offers a unique opportunity for collaboration among winemakers, packaging companies, and marketers to foster innovations that meet consumer demands and environmental goals. What initiatives is your organisation taking towards sustainability in wine production? #Sustainability #WineProduction #IndustryCollaboration

Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA) have recently released its latest Impact Report illustrating what’s involved in making sustainable wine and how eco-conscious consumers can shop with confidence by looking out for the SWA certified trust mark on bottle.   The good news for Aussies, as highlighted in the latest report, is the increasing availability of wines that display the SWA certified trust mark. This mark assures consumers that the vineyard and winery have met sustainability practices via an independent third-party audit and the bottle they are choosing is better for the environment and the planet.   As an Aussie wine company that firmly upholds our responsibility to the environment and one of the largest certified Sustainable Winegrowing Australia members (in terms of vineyard planted area), we have been thrilled to work with SWA on the recent report. The team at Duxton Vineyards are proud advocates for sustainable wine production – grape to glass - and seek to assist in reversing agriculture’s adverse contribution to Australia’s environment by applying regenerative farming practices to the land it operates on.  Wine Australia #SustainableWinegrowing #AussieWine #DuxtonVineyards

Carbon neutral wine? Yes. And a case study from #competitiveness! How would you choose from hundreds of wines from the #Veneto region of #Italy? It has to be something very strong that grabs your attention. For example, the effort to #sustainability. Because sustainability matters to consumers! So I bought it. As a gift. From CANTINE VITEVIS S.c.a.. https://lnkd.in/e-RV-rGB And I also looked at their website and read about their sustainable activities as well as their voluntary sustainability report. And I learned something about Equalitas certification. https://lnkd.in/ezhv6uHW This is exactly what we mean when we say that #ESG can increase your competitiveness! We can discuss it sometimes.

🌟 Commitment to sustainable wines! 🌟 One of the ambitious goals of Wines of Chile is to become one of the leading associations of sustainable wines in the world by 2025. This includes our commitment to Chile's carbon neutrality goal by 2050, established by the Chilean government. Our Sustainability Code, a voluntary certification, guides wineries towards sustainable practices in four key areas: 🌿 Green Area: Vineyard management, ensuring appropriate and safe conditions for workers.  🍷 Red Area: Wineries, bottling, and packaging plants.  👩🏻🤝👨🏻 Orange Area: Ethical practices for workers, suppliers, consumers, and communities.  🏫 Purple Area: Sustainable wine tourism and related facilities. With over 50,000 hectares of certified vineyards, we showcase our commitment to environmental, social, and governance excellence. Thank you, Michelle Bouffard, CEO of Tasting Climate Change, for recognizing our efforts. Let's raise a glass to a more sustainable future! #WinesOfChile #Sustainability #WineIndustry #SustainabilityCode #ChileanWine #TastingClimateChange

a good and important piece from Mike Veseth which misses an important point which may, admittedly, not apply to many US wineries Mike is almost right in saying that consumers won't pay more for sustainability, but if you want to export to Nordic monopolies it is becoming nearly essential. Big retailers wanting to tick corporate sustainability boxes - maybe going for B-Corp certification- are going to take a similar view This all raises the question of the kind of sustainability that's too rarely discussed: economic. As Mike says, too many wineries make marginal profits as it is. They will struggle to cover the additional costs of going sustainable.
