The Future of Wine Forum: Can we agree on a global definition of sustainability in wine?

The Future of Wine Forum, 26-27 November 2020.

A global process of defining sustainability in wine would have multiple benefits. It would help – not threaten – existing programs, and would be a godsend to vineyard managers, winemakers and wine marketers. Our panelists discuss how to define sustainability in wine, the need for a global standard, or series of them, in the industry, how this could happen, pros and cons, and more.

Speakers:

• David Horlock, managing director, global food and retail supply chain, British Standards Institution
• Anne Jones, partner & category manager, drinks, wines, beers and spirits buying, Waitrose & Partners
• Laura Varpasuo, sustainability manager, Alko Inc (Finland’s Alcohol Monopoly)
• Karin Kreider, executive director, ISEAL Alliance

Moderator:

• Toby Webb, co-founder, Sustainable Wine
