An interesting article in the IHT this weekend, talking about an
environmental impact study done at Sicilian vineyard Milazzo,
for the wine Terre Della Baronia.

http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/10/...ess/wbwine.php

A single bottle produced 1.1 pounds of total waste and released 16 grams of
suldur dioxide.

"Producing the 2004 vintage of some 100,000 bottles generated
10,000 kilograms of plastic waste alone, 5,000 kilograms of paper,
and oceans of wastewater."

Food for thought, indeed. It makes one wonder about the environmental impact,
globally, of our personal habits...

Kudos to this winery for participating in the study.
