Recently, an article in National Geographic magazine titled “The Toll of Wine” provided the carbon footprint of shipping a bottle of wine from various locations. Not surprisingly, the largest carbon footprint (stated in pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent) is for wine shipped by truck from Napa or other locations on the West Coast to the East Coast. Shipping from places like Australia or Chile by ship also produces high carbon dioxide footprints because of the great distances involved. Hence, by choosing to buy local Virginia wines, you can help to reduce the carbon footprint and thus the negative impact on the environment.
