🍇 Australia's Wine Industry Leads in Sustainability The 2023 Impact Report from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia showcases notable advancements in sustainable practices within the Australian wine sector. A significant 41% of this year's total wine tonnage was certified sustainable, covering 32% of total vineyard area. The report highlights an exponential increase in certifications compared to 2020, with over ten times more wineries and over eight times more vineyards achieving sustainability certification. 🌱 Certification and Consumer Trust Enhancing Market Presence Mardi Longbottom of the Australian Wine Research Institute emphasized the growing trend of sustainability in the wine industry, driven by consumer demand and ethical commitments. The Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Trust Mark, now featured on an equivalent of 96.1 million bottles of wine, authenticates sustainability claims, which is crucial as 53% of global wine consumers trust only officially certified sustainability claims, according to the IWSR SOLA Report. 🌍 Commitment to Long-Term Environmental Goals The industry is not only expanding its sustainable practices but also pioneering in innovations like alternative varieties and eco-friendly packaging, such as the 'bagnum' format by Duxton Vineyards’ Rewild. Sustainable Winegrowing Australia’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 aligns with its 42% emissions reduction target by 2030, reflecting a substantial commitment to environmental stewardship across nearly 85% of Australia’s wine regions. #SustainableWine #EcoFriendly #WineIndustry #AustraliaWine #SustainabilityGoals

🌱 Sustainability in Every Sip 💚 Did you know that only 5% of Greece’s vineyards—about 4.8 kha—are certified organic.

Here’s how Greek wineries can drive the change: ✅ Expand organic and biodynamic certifications to untapped regions. ✅ Reduce carbon footprints by adopting renewable energy and efficient practices. ✅ Innovate packaging with lightweight bottles and sustainable materials.
