Red, white and green are easily recognizable (when together) as Christmas colors. They also stand for something else, and seeing as how we’re on a wine blog, you can probably guess what that is.

With environmentalists urging governments to save delicate habitats and telling companies they want to see greener practices, business-people have had to adapt. Eco-tourism has become big business, and so has wine tourism. This industry, however, could be under threat.

What does Champagne, your wine rack and the environment have in common? Probably quite a lot, actually, especially the first two (if you’re lucky). Turns out there’s more to love about Champagne: more, but also less. Seems the Champagne Industry in France has an evnironmental plan, one they hope all producers of this most luxurious [...]
When I saw that Banrock Station will participate at the EPIC Sustainable Living Expo in Vanvouver this month, I imagined they must be a BC winery. In fact, Banrock wines come from Australia. Their commitment to best environmental practices explains their involvement, but they also have connetions in BC and the rest of Canada [...]

California, so well known for its wines, can also boast enough sunshine to make installation of any solar energy collection device worthwhile. In the case of J. Lohr Winery, they have made use of the sun with a solar tracking device. Why not use the sun’s energy, since it has a lot to give [...]

If there’s one thing my daughter Faye has always wanted to do when we go shopping, it’s to try the many different styles of cheese available at the deli. Taking her to Gourt’s Gouda in Salmon Arm is just taunting her, really, but you’ve gotta do these things at least once (and then you have [...]

For a long time I have wondered why wine always has to be packaged in such big, 750ml bottles which apparently serve 5 glasses of wine (more like 8 or 9 at my house, if I drank the whole thing). Even a 375ml bottle can be a stretch, although this provides a compromise at least. [...]
The Wine Rack Store strives to be an environmental friendly business and appreciates it when others try to reduce environmental impact. One such group is a bunch of students in Indonesia who have found a solution for the lack of building material for homes in developing regions. Traditionally clay and wood is used but these [...]
We have talked about recycling wine bottles off your wine rack many times on this blog. I have not really mentioned the other important part of wine storage, the cork. Corks are mostly made from the Cork Oak tree. Wineries are no longer limited to these wooden corks. They also use plastic and some even [...]

We here at the Wine Rack Store like to be environmentally conscious and appreciate it when other businesses strive to be. One of these great businesses is a winery located in Gonzalez, California. Constellation Wines is going to build the largest solar power installation for any winery in the world. The solar panels will cover [...]
