1000+ attendees
That was Wine Future 2021 held virtually last week with speakers and attendees joining in from around the globe. While topics were wide ranging, they frequently touched on important issues we face worldwide– inclusivity, sustainability, and climate change– that are important whether you are in the wine industry or not. (Scroll down for a complete list of the session titles). Find my notes from Wine Future Days 1 and 2 here.
Wine Future 2021 supports three Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) with a silent auction:
SOS Cape Town in South Africa,
The Porto Protocol in Portugal, and
North Bay Jobs with Justice in California. Check out the lots posted here. The auction will close on
THE IMPACTS OF COVID-19
What is the current status of the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects upon the world of wine from the vineyard to the consumer? Which methods are being applied to minimize viral exposure and transmission at the workplace and with customers? What are repercussions for olfactory analysis, everyday tasting and enjoyment, and what are practical methods of addressing these problems? What is the status of vaccination processes with a look to its impact on an approximate return to a certain normality?
