Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) is a unique coalition – the only global, independent roundtable to include the whole value chain.

SWR catalyses and drives collective action and knowledge sharing. Whether you are a producer, distributor, retailer, a logistics partner or a researcher, take your place at the table.

Working together, we are developing a global sustainability reference standard. 

SWR is also working with members across the wine industry to develop collaborative action and tools on areas such as vineyard chemistry, labour standards, packaging and bottle weight and low carbon logistics.

Our VISION is of a world where high quality wine is produced, traded and consumed in ways that conserve and regenerate the natural environment, respect human rights and foster quality and inclusion; and generate prosperity, pride and passion for excellence.

Our MISSION is to convene the global wine industry to facilitate knowledge sharing, enable practical solutions and inspire sustainability action.
