Greenopia is releasing its updated "Greenest Wine" rankings for 2010 and you will be interested in the findings.  Ordinarily we assume the wineries are committed to being organic and vintners are dedicated to being environmentally conscience and for the most part they are; when it comes to their farming practices.  But surprisingly, wineries lose a lot of credit when it comes to their packaging.  Glass wine bottles, which have been a mainstay of the wine industry, are not the "greenest" choice. The production impacts of glass and the large amount of material needed, make the bottles an environmentally problematic choice for a wine container.
