Making wine packaging more sustainable is playing a large role in helping two large North Coast vintners reach ambitious goals to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

In his 2005 book, ‘A Wine Miscellany’, author, Graham Harding argues: “wine is not just ‘the fermented juice of grapes’.”

The average liter of bottled water contains a quarter of a million pieces of microscopically small plastic — and the researchers who made this discovery have said that although it might not be dangerous, it’s made them cut back on how much bottled water they drink.

To drink or not to drink—that is the question facing many a wine lover when left with a bottle that’s been open on the counter for a few days.

Maybe you’re browsing your wine stash for something “safe” to drink on a Wednesday night, or staring down a fancy-looking gifted bottle trying to decide if it’s ready to finally open.
