CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sandra Elizabeth Taylor proudly announces the release of her latest book, Vines and Values: A Consumer's Guide to Sustainable Wine – Savoring Wines You Need To Know. This groundbreaking guide is the first of its kind, offering wine drinkers an accessible source to understand sustainable wine and help them select wines that align with their eco-conscious values.
Available in hardcover, paperback, and eBook formats, Vines and Values can be purchased through Archway Publishing, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon.
"I'm thrilled to introduce Vines and Values to readers who want to support winemakers that share their commitment to sustainability," says Sandra E. Taylor. "My first book, The Business of Sustainable Wine (2017), explored how sustainability can enhance brand equity within the wine industry. My new book is an easy-to-use guide for consumers, especially those eager to make more informed, eco-friendly choices about what they eat and drink."
The wine industry has seen a significant shift in the last 15 years, with a growing focus on environmental and social responsibility. Today, many wineries boast sustainability certifications or follow green practices. Nearly 30 wine regions have unique regional certification programs with assessments and audits. However, as the global wine market, valued at $463.5 billion in 2024, continues to grow, consumers are faced with an increasing number of options and often find it difficult to navigate through the complexities of sustainable wine choices.
Vines and Values is a comprehensive, user-friendly guide with a mission to demystify sustainability in the world of wine. It caters to wine lovers across the spectrum, from novices to connoisseurs, offering insights into the meaning and importance of sustainable practices in winemaking. By delving into various aspects of sustainability in viticulture and winemaking, readers can grasp the complexities of eco-friendly wine production.
The author believes that better educated consumers will lead to increased purchases of sustainably produced wines and ultimately the result will be healthier workers, stronger commitment to social responsibility, more resilient farming communities, balanced ecosystems, and economic vitality for producers.
Franklin C. Moore, a wine enthusiast and early reader, praises the book: "For those of us who have a small but growing wine collection, a desire for sustainably produced wine, and depend on the staff of our wine shops for information on sustainably produced wines, this book is the answer! It provides very accessible information that helps the reader decide which wines to explore and buy."
