Wednesday, January 3, 2024

The wine industry has faced criticism over its environmental, economic and social sustainability more generally.

Key Points: 
  • The wine industry has faced criticism over its environmental, economic and social sustainability more generally.
  • which have the greatest potential to drive much needed systemic change to improve sustainability across the wine industry.

Bottling grapes

  • Conventional wine production is not inherently sustainable, degrading land, water and air while reinforcing social injustices and inequity.
  • Less visible are the social injustices experienced by many of the critical migrant workers employed during the grape harvest.
  • In the 2023 harvest, two human trafficking investigations were launched in Champagne.

Growing actions

  • Both small and large producers in the U.S., France, and New Zealand are using lighter bottles to reduce their environmental impact and save money.
  • Alternatives to glass bottles with lower carbon footprints do exist, including bottles made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), paper bottles, boxed wine, wine on tap and aluminium cans.
  • Unfortunately, customers can be hesitant to buy wine in these alternative formats, perceiving it to be of lower quality.
  • Most wine producers employ more conventional grape growing methods, which in many cases are being adapted to create more sustainable practices.

Encouraging sustainability

  • However, these efforts to improve sustainability have been uneven and inconsistent, confusing consumers wanting to make an informed decision when purchasing wine.
  • Consumers seek easy ways to identify sustainable wine, such as clear visual cues on labels and trustworthy sustainability certifications.
