Sustainability
Sustainability is the practice of meeting current needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
It involves balancing the environment, economy, and equity.
Water scarcity and the need for efficient water management are becoming increasingly important in many wine-producing regions. Vineyards and wineries are adopting various water conservation measures, such as drip irrigation systems, soil moisture monitoring, and rainwater harvesting.
Creating sustainable wine starts with the vineyard . The land must be managed responsibly, which means no harmful pesticides or chemicals that can damage the soil and ecosystem. Instead, natural methods like cover crops and compost are used to nourish the vines.
Eco-friendly wine may allow more flexibility in winemaking practices as long as they align with sustainability goals. Organic wine focuses primarily on farming practices, while eco-friendly wine encompasses a wider range of practices, including energy efficiency, packaging, and waste management.
