proudly multigenerational and pass on time-honored traditions while taking
advantage of new innovations, producing 81% of America’s wine.
2) California wine makes significant financial contributions to local communities,
the state, and the country by supporting hundreds of thousands of quality jobs,
bolstering economies through tourism and taxes, and enhancing communities
through environmental stewardship and charitable giving.
3) With the most comprehensive and widely adopted sustainability programs in
the world, 90% of California wine is made in 250 certified sustainable wineries,
and 70% of the state’s vineyard acreage is certified sustainable.
4) The dedication of California wineries to sustainability is reflected in their
approach to producing wine with commitment, collaboration, innovation,
investment, and leadership, all of which help to secure the future of the wine
community for generations to come.
