Be Bold with us
Why drink NY?
New York is different. People might not know that in one corner we’re surrounded by the ocean. In another, we overlook two Great Lakes. In the middle, we’re home to lakes that are great not in size but in depth and in beauty. We’re cold and crisp. We’re breezy and warm. And no two regions are exactly alike. That makes wine of infinite variety…and that people will find to be unexpectedly great.

NY Sustainable Wine Growing
Sustainable Wine Growing
The sustainability program is designed to provide grape growers in New York and other regions of the Northeast with guidance in evaluating and adopting best management practices that minimize environmental impacts, reduce economic risks, and protect worker health and safety. Standards are set by a panel of experts including academics, industry members, and extension specialists focusing on practices relevant to New York grape production. Annually, these standards undergo review and revision to ensure they are up to date with science based best practices and economic feasibility.
Currently nine objectives have been identified.
Objectives for a sustainable future
- To promote the use of practices that reduce reliance on off-farm inputs.
- To build, regenerate, and conserve healthy soils for future generations.
- To protect surrounding reservoirs and waterways from pollution.
- To improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- To conserve natural resources, reduce waste streams, and recycle.
- To encourage healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, and wildlife habitat.
- To increase climate resiliency and promote climate-smart farming.
- To provide education and pathways for continuous improvement.
- To foster a socially equitable and economically viable industry.
