What to drink: Three sustainable wines for Earth Day 2021

What does it take for a winery to be considered sustainable? It’s more than a buzzword stuck on a label. It requires a symbiotic relationship with the land, prioritizing water conservation in vineyards; soil stability and fertility, taking only as much as it gives; maintaining a healthy habitat for nearby wildlife; and no pesticides or chemical fertilizers. (And a bunch of official certifications.) On top of all that, ethical working environments are just as crucial. As people consider the ethics of their consumption, sustainable wineries are primed to deliver high quality wines with a high quality ethos to match.
