(Thedailymeal) - How you can help the world's fresh water supply one bottle of wine at a time. Today I want to take a moment to consider the impact winemaking has not just on our lives, but also on the world around us. It can be a very intensive type of farming, with many producers using fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides, and significant amounts of carbon-based fuels during production, just to name the biggest factors.
One aspect of farming that is often overlooked is the use of water. While we are all in a tizzy when it comes to fossil flues and chemical additives used in farming, we often forget to examine the use of life’s most basic requirement: water.
