As in the previous iterations of this report, the focus is not just on farming methods and the production process, but also on the wineries’ social impact. It is heartening to see so many of our partners placing such importance on employee welfare and supporting local populations; they are not just preserving the land, but preserving communities. With seven new additions, one new country and six upgraded scores, this year’s report shows that the world of wine is not standing still, but constantly innovating in the quest for sustainability. It also shows that sustainability is not just the preserve of the small producer, but that when a sustainable approach is applied at a larger scale, the positive impact is magnified.
