Differentiate Your Wine with Sustainability


January 19

2026

Eco-conscious consumers are reshaping the market:

✓ 89% say they’ve changed their buying habits for sustainability
✓ 80% will pay more for sustainable products

In a saturated wine market, standing out is critical. A sustainable certification signals transparency.


Sustainability: A Deciding Factor

Wine drinkers (especially Millennials and Gen Z) expect more than just a good pour. They want brands that align with their values.

Research from Wine Market Council found that 60% of younger and multicultural consumers prefer sustainable or organic wines.

A sustainable certification can be the deciding factor for a buyer choosing between you and a competitor. It’s a talking point in the tasting room and a story that adds weight to a wine on the shelf.


But There’s a Problem

Although some consumers express willingness to pay more for sustainably-produced items, the vast majority say they do not routinely seek out information on a brand’s sustainability initiatives.

That means your sustainable story could get lost on the shelf.

Why not make it easy for them?
