2003年,加州的酒商和葡萄的栽培者制定了“可持续葡萄种植和葡萄酒酿造工艺代码”,这个规定耕作和酿造实践对环境非常的敏感,需要全社会对耕作和酿造工艺的关注。
In 2003, the wineries and wine growers in California developed “Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices”. This code promotes farming and winemaking practices that are sensitive to the environment and responsive to the needs and interest of society in general.
这个自主的规定公布了如减少杀虫剂的使用,水和能量守恒,损耗的减少和再生,腐蚀的控制,利用葡萄园里有益虫杀死有害虫,创造和保护在葡萄园附近的鸟类和其他野生动物的生存环境,种植覆盖地表的植被如芥菜和三叶草补充土壤的养份,改善农场工人的住房,和其他能提高葡萄酒质量的有效的方法。有一本小册子是帮助酒商贯彻执行的。
This voluntary code addresses issues such as reduced pesticide use, water and energy conservation, waste reduction and recycling, controlling of erosion, the use of “good bugs” in the vineyard to kill the “bad bugs”, creating and maintaining a habitat for raptors and other wildlife around the vineyards, planting cover crops such as mustard grass and clover to replenish the soil with nutrients, improved farm worker housing, and other measures for making high quality wines in a responsible manner. A handbook was created to help wineries implement the practices.
