15.45 – 16.45 – Session 17: TURNING WATER INTO WINE EFFICIENTLY – It takes a lot of water to make wine. Depending on location and vineyard practices, it can take 960 liters of water to make one liter of wine. Upon first glance this seemingly wasteful act is irresponsible considering the record draughts many wine regions have experienced during the past decade. This panel will discuss methods of reducing water use, treating wastewater for reuse, and how small changes can make a big difference.

16.45 – 17.45 - Session 18: A WINERY’S RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS COMMUNITY – One of the main pillars of sustainability is building a thriving community. Community encompasses any stakeholder regardless its distance from the point of origin or relative size to it. What is the responsibility of a business to its greater community? Is being a good corporate citizen beneficial to the future growth of a wine producer? These presenters will examine this from multiple angles and suggest points of action.
