Making Wine Sustainable: A Guide to Best Practice from Vineyard to Glass - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

In recent years, sustainability has become increasingly important in the wine industry. Concerns about environmental impact used to focus on how grapes were grown, and were perhaps regarded as the preserve of organic and biodynamic vineyards. Today, winemakers of all kinds, including large-scale conventional growers, are aware that sustainability encompasses their entire process, from soil, vines and water use, through to transportation and packaging.

In this timely book, respected wine journalists Britt and Per Karlsson explore the different approaches to sustainability taken by organic, biodynamic, natural and conventional wine producers around the world. They examine the different rules and restrictions governing winemaking, including spraying in the vineyard; additives and processing aids employed during fermentation; and how wine is packaged and transported. The authors also consider the impact of climate change on the current industry and how it is affecting both the taste of wines and which grape varieties are grown.

Making Wine Sustainable is an invaluable guide to best practice for modern wine industry professionals, and an illuminating read for wine enthusiasts who want to better understand this complex subject.
