HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR NEXT BOTTLE OF WINE

• 15 min

Consider this one glass of white wine is equivalent to 29 gallons of water. And one glass of red wine is 32 gallons of water.    If you look at the entire wine region area in the U S wine grapes sipped a little over 1 trillion gallons of water from wells and rivers in one year alone.   Climate change is going to increase the need for irrigation. We're already beginning to see that as summers become longer and hotter, and the winters become colder.  One study found  worldwide viticulture acreage will not be suitable for wine production by 2050.   In California, where most of our grape-growing occurs in the United States. It's predicted wine grapes will decrease between 50-63% by 2050.   The good news is there are ways to farm wine grapes that use less water and are more climate resilient. I learned this when I spent the day with Mike Benzinger, who was my tour guide and the founder of Benzinger family wines.   On this episode you will:    Gain action tips to buy your next bottle of wineYou will learn why long root systems matter to save waterYou will get a simple introduction to biodynamic wineYou will gain simple strategies to find biodynamic wine   Biodynamic wine Dryfarmwine.com Use this link at receive an extra bottle free with your first orderTablas CreekBeckman  Links and resources: Receive 15% off your next purchase at the EAT LESS WATER shop and the 10 TIPS to EAT LESS WATER and SAVE WATER during your SUMMER GATHERINGSFollow me on Instagram: @eatlesshttps://www.instagram.com/eatlesswater/?hl=enwaterFor more about me and what I do, check out my website.  Make sure you hit SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss out on future episodes released every Monday and (water) Wednesday.   If you enjoyed this episode, please leave me a rating and review.
