Sustainable Alcohol!

As we welcome in the New Year with fond (or no) memories of New Years Eve celebrations and a nice list of new years resolutions – or in the case of Gary & Ali envirolutions – we should pause and think of all the alcohol we have consumed in the last week.

Australia has an excellent reputation for the production (and consumption) of fine wine & beer but how sustainable is our alcohol? As climate change bites will we still be able to grow the grapes necessary for our excellent wine selection? Is the price of beer destined to rise as water and energy becomes more expensive? In Monday 5th January’s show we talk to Dr Leanne Webb about how climate change is impacting the Australian wine growing regions, and then we talk to Deano from the Good Brew Company about what makes a sustainable brewery. So check out the podcasts for all the details.
