Wine region push for sustainable production
Wine grapegrowers just south of Adelaide are keen to brand an entire region as environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. Growers can sign up to a self-funded program and be monitored on a range of factors, including water and fertiliser use and soil quality. Those behind the initiative say it is a response to growing demand from wine drinkers and it could be the answer to a grape oversupply that is causing tight profit margins, reports ABC News.
