Sustainable Wine interviews actors from across the wine value chain, mostly winemakers and growers, on key sustainability issues in the wine industry. Head over to www.sustainablewine.co.uk for more news and analyses on sustainability in wine, winemaking and circular economy.
Sustainable Wine's Toby Webb speaks to Miguel Torres, fourth generation of the Torres family and president of Bodegas Torres in Penedès. They discuss the impacts of climate change in Catalonia, the adaptation and mitigation efforts at Bodegas Torres, what the future of climate leadership in the industry looks like, and more.
On 15th September 2021, the SWR held a global media briefing to announce the launch, its founding members, future plans and how you can get involved. Listen to the recording here.
In this podcast Sustainable Wine’s Toby Webb is joined by Andrés Valero, leader of sustainability and CSR at Grupo Avinea, and Juan Pablo Murgia, chief winemaker at Bodega Argento.
They discuss what sustainability means to the business, what it looks like on the ground at Avinea's vineyards, the importance of organic viticulture and how this concept is evolving within the organisation.
We'd like to thank Grupo Avinea for their generous support as a sponsor of the Future of Wine Americas Conference.
