1 Organic wine

Organic wine is made from grapes that are grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or fertilizers. Organic wine can reduce soil erosion, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions, while preserving natural resources and wildlife habitats. However, organic wine does not necessarily mean low-sulfite or vegan, as some winemakers may still use additives or animal products during the fermentation or filtration process. To ensure that your organic wine meets your standards, look for labels that specify the ingredients and methods used.

Uma das op??es pode ser comprar a maioria dos vinhos a pequenos produtores locais. Implementar um sistema de devolu??o de garrafas vazias (vasilhame) e de transporte das mesmas em caixas reutilizáveis. Os vinhos à consigna??o permitirá n?o haver uma necessidade de investimentos em stocks, além de espa?o de acondicionamento e necessidade de controlo. Destacar os vinhos durante o evento, dando a conhecer a origem, as pessoas e as práticas agrícolas. Possibilitando a compra de garrafas aos participantes do evento. E claro, escolher vinhos com características de aroma e sabor atraentes e capazes de harmonizar com a oferta gastronómica do espa?o de eventos.

2 Biodynamic wine

Biodynamic wine is a type of organic wine that follows a holistic and spiritual approach to viticulture. Biodynamic wine is based on the principles of Rudolf Steiner, who advocated for a harmony between the vineyard, the cosmos, and the human being. Biodynamic wine uses natural preparations, composts, and animal manures to enhance soil fertility and plant health, and follows a lunar calendar to guide planting, pruning, harvesting, and bottling. Biodynamic wine can enhance biodiversity, soil quality, and terroir expression, while avoiding chemical inputs and waste. To identify biodynamic wine, look for the Demeter certification, which is the most widely recognized standard for biodynamic farming.

3 Natural wine

Natural wine is a term that refers to wine that is made with minimal intervention and manipulation, both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Natural wine is usually organic or biodynamic, but also avoids or limits the use of sulfites, yeasts, enzymes, fining agents, filtration, and temperature control. Natural wine can offer a more authentic and diverse taste of the grape variety and the region, while respecting the environment and the consumer. However, natural wine can also be more unpredictable, variable, and prone to faults, such as oxidation, cloudiness, or vinegariness. To find natural wine, look for labels that indicate the winemaker's philosophy and practices, or ask your supplier for recommendations.

4 Fairtrade wine

Fairtrade wine is wine that is produced and traded according to the standards of the Fairtrade International organization, which aims to promote fair and ethical working conditions, wages, and rights for farmers and workers in developing countries. Fairtrade wine can help to reduce poverty, inequality, and exploitation, while supporting community development, education, and health. Fairtrade wine can also have environmental benefits, such as water conservation, organic farming, and climate adaptation. To recognize fairtrade wine, look for the Fairtrade logo, which guarantees that the wine meets the social and environmental criteria of the certification.

5 Local wine

Local wine is wine that is produced and consumed within a short distance, usually within the same country or region. Local wine can reduce the transportation costs, emissions, and packaging waste associated with importing wine from distant places. Local wine can also support the local economy, culture, and identity, while offering a more seasonal and diverse selection of wines. To choose local wine, look for labels that indicate the origin and the distance of the wine, or visit local wineries and farmers' markets to discover new and unique wines.

Getting local wines is probably the most effective way to lower the carbon footprint of your wine list. Of course, you want to offer some diversity, but educating your clients about the benefits of local wines and helping them choose wines from local wineries that are actually making sustainability efforts can go a long way in achieving sustainability goals, helping local winemakers, and improving the reputation of your wine regions.

Other than being the "0 km" solution to contribute lower carbon footprint, local wines are the representation of culture and tradition of the area itself. Many times people tempt to forget what they can access locally, in favour of wines coming from other places. Guiding them to know what is available locally, will also produce a benefit for the local economy.

The real questions (at European level,at least) should be: Do you see the future of wine industry “in Spain”as economically & environmentally sustainable? The very significant drought situation is only one of the problems. Wine current production is sustainable? Despite the drought and the new EU labeling or regulations? Besides establishing a new full list of ALL wine additives, the EP is working on a “Wine Kills” compulsory label. Considering that wine-associated health risks are related to cumulative alcohol intake &!probably to some genetically inherited predisposition to both liver cirrhosis & cancers (or even to addiction behavioral problems)- I would encourage selling wines in 1/2 bottles. Single people like myself will thank you
