"As their absorbing book reveals, "climatic challenges" were a major contributor to plummeting levels of wine production that last year saw the global total drop to its lowest level since 1961...

The book will feature a mix of expert commentary, in-depth case studies, and engaging storytelling that illustrates how sustainability is being embraced across the global wine community-from regenerative farming practices at Tablas Creek in California to innovative water management strategies in Australia's Barossa Valley.
