How Do Wine Sustainability Standards Stack Up?

More than 40 sustainability certification schemes exist in the global wine industry—each tailored to different regions, but often creating confusion for buyers, growers, and consumers. What do these standards really measure, how do they compare, and what does credible sustainability look like in practice?

In this webinar, the Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) shares key findings from the second round of our global wine sustainability standards benchmarking. Drawing on our Global Reference Framework, we assess six wine-focused programmes plus EU Organic and Demeter Biodynamic, exploring how the schemes address smaller producers, labour practices, packaging impacts, and the balance between targeted and flexible approaches.
