“Green: Grapes, Growers, Winemakers and Wine” is a nuts-and-bolts directory of “earth-friendly” vineyards, wineries and independent winemakers. The directory contains 3,230 listings of organic, biodynamic and sustainable winegrowers in 28 countries from across the world. Each entry includes a name, contact information and website address (if available). The main list is sorted alphabetically by name. A second list is sorted alphabetically by country. Interviews with 62 of the winemakers answer the questions, “Why go green?” and “Why stay green?”

Wine consumption and eco-awareness are on the upswing worldwide. This directory will serve current “green” wine drinkers, those looking to go “green” and also wine-sellers wanting to expand their inventories of earth-friendly wines. Lesser lists have appeared in print and online over the past decade. A directory this wide-ranging exists nowhere but in this book.
