Two research studies sponsored by Wine Institute indicate that the sustainable and eco-friendly attributes of wine are important considerations when making purchasing decisions.
That goes for key segments of wine consumers, as well as those of us in the wine trade.

Through participation in the California Sustainable Winegrowing Program, the state has one of the most widely adopted such programs in the world in terms of vineyard acreage and case production.
