International Day for Biological Diversity 🌿

Biodiversity sits at the heart of sustainable drinks production - from soil health and ecosystems in the vineyard to the wider landscapes that support them.

In wine, biodynamic and regenerative approaches are increasingly shaping how producers think about long-term resilience, quality and environmental impact.
A reminder that sustainability in drinks starts from the ground up.

This conversation will continue at SID 2026, where biodiversity and regenerative viticulture will be explored in depth - including a dedicated workshop led by The Regenerative Viticulture Foundation on regenerative, organic and biodynamic approaches and how conditions differ in practice.

💧 Water is becoming one of the defining challenges for the global wine industry.

Saving Every Drop in Wine: Insights & Solutions from The Porto Protocol Community - a new report from The Porto Protocol Foundation - offers a comprehensive look at how water is understood, managed and valued across the sector.

Developed in response to increasing climate volatility, the report positions water not simply as an input, but as a system central to vineyard resilience, wine quality and long-term viability.

Drawing on research, lived experience and practical solutions already in practice, it provides both a framework and a clear call to action.

We’re pleased to support and share this important work. Read it here: https://ow.ly/iouv50YT6Km
