In the wine industry, sustainability is an extremely important issue for two main reasons: Firstly, the industry faces serious threats as a consequence of climate change, as well as water and energy scarcity. Secondly, proper sustainable management of wineries can mean obtaining a competitive advantage by allowing them to increase market share and organizational innovation processes. In this sense, previous work has shown that customers tend to select wines that have been developed following sustainable practices, despite not knowing what this means in practice. The Handbook of Research on Sustainability Challenges in the Wine Industry serves as a guide for study, reflection, and critique to understand sustainability in the wine industry in its triple aspect (economic, social, and environmental). The book sheds light on the new trends and challenges of the wine industry, making it a must-read for academicians and managers who want to deepen their knowledge of the wine industry as well as its link with sustainability. Covering key topics such as wine tourism, green innovation, and consumer behavior, this major reference work is ideal for industry professionals, business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

By examining regulations, organization theory, industry organizational efficiency and vertical integration, up to date strategies in the sector are presented and appraised. Which models are most efficient? What are the most relevant factors for optimal performance? How do reputation and governance impact the industry? Should different models co-exist within the wine countries for global success? This comprehensive volume is essential reading for students, researchers and professionals in the wine industry.

Climate change has put the survival and viability of wine-growing regions at risk. Whereas the implementation of sustainable approaches was once seen as a source of competitive advantage, it is now critical to the survival of the industry. Wine tourism should therefore aim to minimize possible cultural and environmental damage while improving the economic and social well-being of the wine-growing region. Contributing to the targets of SDG 8, specifically target 8.9: ‘By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products,’ this book argues that wine tourism can be considered as a catalyst for the environmental sustainability of wineries. Chapters highlight the economic, socioeconomic, environmental, socio-cultural impact of wine tourism around the world, before concluding with a look to the future trends and challenges. It features best practices from around the world that wineries and wine tourism companies can incorporate into their core business functions to make their operations more sustainable and also showcases how wineries have designed their tourism offerings to meet sustainable tourism development objectives
