About this episode

This episode explores how sustainability is influencing the wine industry through various innovative practices and projects.

With Earth Day around the corner, this week’s show explores how sustainability is shaping the world of wine — from the vineyard, to the bottle, and even into the heart of the city. Mandi speaks with Baptiste Meyniel of Domaine Haute Févrie in Muscadet Sèvre-et-Maine about sustainable farming practices in the Loire Valley and how they influence the wines we drink. She’s also joined by Raul Valle from Amorim, who shares fascinating insights into cork — from how it’s harvested to its environmental impact, and why it remains one of the most important materials in the wine industry. And closer to home, Véronique Lemieux discusses her innovative  Vignes en Ville  project, which brings vineyards to unexpected places — including rooftops in Montreal — redefining how we think about wine, sustainability, and urban spaces. It’s a thoughtful and engaging look at how tradition, innovation, and environmental awareness are shaping the future of wine.
