Help! There are too many sustainability certifications to keep track of! Why isn't there a global standard, like Demeter for BD? Aren't BD/Organic/Natural wines the best choice anyway? How can I tell if something's just greenwashing or not? What does regenerative farming really mean? What's my role as a somm, and why should I care (beyond caring for the planet)? Let's have a frank chat about these questions, definitions, and more. In fact, this session could have easily been titled "Real-deal Sustainability. Things you wanted to know, but were afraid to ask."

Learning Objectives:

• Get clear and honest answers to some of the top questions somms have about sustainability in wine.
• Define sustainability in wine in a simple, straightforward way and get tips on educating customers when they ask.
• Learn how to take easy steps towards supporting (and doing) good climate action in our industry.
• Discover how being versed in this topic might set you up for enhanced career opportunities
