Episode Title: Swish or Spit - The Environmental Impact of Wine Production Hosts: Cait Bagby - Climate content creator and sustainable storyteller. Sarah Ferris - A self-proclaimed "green around the gills" Greenie, navigating the complexities of sustainable living. Episode Summary: In this episode, Cait and Sarah dive into the world of wine to explore its environmental footprint. Whether you’re a seasoned wine connoisseur or just enjoy an occasional glass, this episode sheds light on the growing impact of climate change on vineyards, how production is shifting, and how sustainable practices are evolving in the wine industry. The hosts break down the differences between conventional, organic, biodynamic, and natural wines, and they even challenge you to rethink your wine choices. Key Topics Discussed: Wine consumption trends and global production. The effect of climate change on wine quality, growing cycles, and vineyard locations. Conventional vs. organic vs. biodynamic farming methods: pros, cons, and the environmental impact of each. The emergence of "natural" wine and its minimal-intervention production process. Fun wine facts, like how many grapes are in a bottle of wine (hint: it’s a lot!). The challenge: Sarah embarks on a taste test to see if she can tell the difference between conventional and organic wines. Challenge of the Week: Sarah takes on a taste test challenge to compare conventional and organic/biodynamic wines and determine if there’s a discernible difference in taste. Can she taste the difference? Tune in to find out! Resources Mentioned: Look for USDA Organic or DEMETER-certified labels when choosing your wine to support sustainable practices. Watch for eco-friendly wine practices like using ducks for pest control and moving vineyards to climate-friendly areas. Learn more about the environmental and social implications of wine production. Stay Tuned For: In the next episode, Cait and Sarah discuss what to do with all those empty wine bottles, exploring the glass recycling industry and more sustainable ways to dispose of or repurpose your bottles.
