Sustainability or its possibility runs to and through almost everything we use.  Would you ever think about sustainability and wine?  Well, you should.  There are a number of components that go into the wine product that have the potential to add to sustainability.  The growing should be of a variety that fits the climate of the location. The bottling is more sustainable if the wine is contained in a box, bought in bulk, or alternatively in thinner glass bottles.  Buying local varieties also cuts down on transportation.  It can be more sustainable here on the East coast to get our wine from Europe rather than California, shipping by container ship versus truck or plane from California.
