INTERWINED EXCLUSIVE: Chilean Winery Goes Carbon Neutral

Jacob Gaffney  in News , , ,

Viña Ventisquero, the Chilean multi-tiered wine producer (some good, some great)…is going Carbon Neutral.

The first for any Chilean winery. Carbon Neutrality means the winery must offset all of its green house gas emissions, even those produced during fermentation (which bubbles off plenty carbon), and those produced via transport (each bottle of wine’s so-called food miles).

This is an InterWined EXCLUSIVE. Go ahead, search web news and see who had it first. Actually, InterWined was told about it two weeks ago, but noticed no one was interested in giving this story press…

In the future, InterWined.com is going to give you more news, first, since there is obviously a gap.

BTW, the offset is being handled by Climate Care, a company that calculates a company’s (or individual’s) carbon emissions and then hands you a bill. They take care of the rest.

Ventisquero joins a growing list (though still small but not for long) of CO2 zero wineries: Grove Mill (NZ), Backsberg (SA) and Parducci (USA).
