CALIFORNIA VINTNERS AND GROWERS INTRODUCE CODE OF SUSTAINABLE WINEGROWING GUIDELINES
SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Wine Institute and the California Association of Winegrape Growers (CAWG) today introduced to the California wine community a code of best management practices and accompanying 490-page workbook promoting social responsibility and environmental stewardship.
Named the "Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices," the program is being unveiled to California's vintners and growers as a voluntary self-assessment tool with information on how to conserve natural resources, protect the environment and enhance relationships with employees, neighbors and local communities.
