We know sustainability in wine is important, but how can we communicate it better? 🍷📱 This was one of the questions asked at the 2024 US Sustainable Winegrowing Summit, where FirstPour presented the social media perspective, as reported by Decanter. “Richard Morley, the director of UK-based marketing agency FirstPour, said: ‘Wine hashtags on social media give us a litmus test of general interest levels," writes Cassandra Charlick. "#wine has 77 million posts, #organicwine has 929k , #biodynamicwine has 272k and #sustainablewine sits at 64.9k. These stats show us that organic wine is established and understood as it has got its message right. The main challenge in communicating sustainable winemaking is that sustainability is a broad and wide-ranging concept. It’s hard for consumers to visualise what it means and why it matters to them.’” Thank you to California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance for giving us the opportunity to speak at this year's summit, and to our fellow speakers, Sandy Skees, Emily Ely, Ann Wallace, and Porter Novelli, for their thought-provoking insights and expertise. Want to make sure your sustainable practices are making an impact with wine lovers? 🌱 Email [email protected] to learn more. #WineIndustry #Sustainability
