Sustainable packaging in the wine industry
In January 2023, we gathered for a panel discussion co-hosted by our Grape Circle and Sustainability Committees at Elizabeth Spencer Winery in Rutherford. The event brought together industry professionals to explore the topic of packaging sustainability within the wine sector, with a focus on materials, innovation, and environmental impact across the value chain.
The panel featured experts from across the packaging and wine ecosystem, offering perspectives from brand, production, and industrial packaging:
- Lisa Brown, Senior Brand Manager Import & LVE Wines, Boisset Collection
- Claude Dardant, COO, Autajon Packaging
- Félix Lamolinerie, CEO, Verallia USA
- Melanie Thomas, Managing Director, Ramondin USA
The discussion was moderated by Chloé Soroquère, co-Chair of the Sustainability Committee.
