Notes of Oak, Cherry and... Petroleum?

For all you wine-ophiles curious about the eco-impact of your chosen bev, Dr. Vino and friends at DrVino.com have come up with a handy-dandy dividing “greenline” for calculating carbon conclusions. Taking distance and mode of shipping into account, west of the line, California is the terroir of choice, while east of the line, it’s eco-friendlier to sip grape from Europe. To crunch the numbers on the carbon footprint of your beloved biodynamic Bordeaux vs. your favorite organic Napa Zin, visit DrVino.com.
