This is a recording of a panel session from the SWR Global Conference Series 2023 "How to turn climate mitigation and adaptation into business opportunity"  conference from 1st February 2023.

Supply chain data collection, how will unified approaches transform sustainability performance?

Big players in wine, such as retailers, want to take a consistent approach to the sustainability data they ask for from importers, distributors, producers and other suppliers. This makes sense and can also have a positive impact on the value chain in terms of reducing costs and saving time. So what are the trends? We’ll include an update on the SWR retailer initiative in this area and look at how bottle weight approaches will spread to other areas.

Speakers:

• Erica Landin-Löfving, Chief Sustainability Officer, Vintage Wine Estates

Moderator: Dr. Peter Stanbury, Research Director, Sustainable Wine Roundtable

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Hanna Halmari talks with Fabian Kerbeck, sustainability and quality control lead at the VDP in Germany. The VDP is a German wine group representing many of the country's top producers (around 200) with strict member requirements on quality and sustainability. Hanna and Fabian discuss the VDP's sustainability agenda, milestones, and more.

Sustainable Wine’s Toby Webb recently visited Dourakis Winery in Chania, Crete where he spoke with oenologist Adonis Dourakis. In this podcast Adonis shares more about their wines and how climate change is impacting indigenous grapes in the region. They discuss the current state of grape growing in Greece, how growers are adapting to the changing climate, and the future of regenerative viticulture in Crete.

In this podcast Sustainable Wine's Toby Webb is joined by Joe Fattorini, marketing consultant, and Dr Peter Stanbury, head of research, SWR, for an honest conversation on the realities of sustainability. In this first part of a mini-series on debunking myths in wine, they debate trends and facts, and discuss consumer research, myths, hypocrisy, and more.

This is a recording of a panel session from the SWR Global Conference Series 2023  “The sustainable vineyard and winery in 2030” conference from 3rd May 2023.

What will a sustainable vineyard and winery look like in 2030?

This session offers both a summing up of what we learned during the event, and a look forward into the future. Technology cannot save us, but we know it will help a lot. But cultural change around existing practices also matters. How will these factors combine, in that watershed year of 2030, to change how the sustainable vineyard and winery operate? How will such changes, affect how they relate to the rest of the wine value chain?
