Planet Green's NGO partners keep making us proud. Last week, The Nature Conservancy held a New York City event called "Message in a Barrel," which explored the threatening link between climate change and the world of wine. According to Dr. Dominique Bachelet, The Nature Conservancy's climate change scientist, by the end of this century, rising temperatures across the U.S. could reduce the areas suitable for premium wine production by up to 81 percent.

Fortunately, we have people like grape guru and event panelist, Tyler Coleman, a professor at New York University (a.k.a. Dr. Vino), studying the carbon footprint of wine. After tracking a bottle from Argentina to California to New York, Coleman is able to share threeways in which we can still drink our way to bliss without leaving our planet with a major carbon-dioxide hangover. On the next few pages we'll talk about how wine should travel.
