South Africa pioneers ethical seal (South Africa)

South Africa has launched an industry-wide seal which guarantees its wines have been produced in line with fair labour practices. Outlined and audited by the country’s Wine Industry Ethical Trade Association (WIETA), the first of these full traceable seals are expected to be awarded later this year. The initiative is intended to complement South Africa’s existing sustainability seal, established in 2010, with the hope that these two programmes will eventually be combined, reports The Drinks Business.
