Lanchester Wines wins IWSC 2024 Green Wine Initiative Trophy
We are delighted to announce that our Green Wine Initiative Trophy, in partnership with Aquapax has been awarded to Lanchester Wines, a leading name in sustainable wine production.
Lanchester Wines, established in 1980 in the picturesque North East of England, has rapidly emerged as a pioneering force in sustainable wine production. With a mission to minimise environmental impact while delivering exceptional quality wine, Lanchester has carved a niche for itself in the wine industry. Their notable achievements include substantial investments of £13 million in renewable energy initiatives, including solar and wind power, enabling the company to operate almost entirely on renewable energy. Furthermore, Lanchester's introduction of innovative packaging, such as its ground-breaking 300g bottle, showcases its dedication to reducing landfill waste and carbon emissions.
Lanchester Wines' selection for the Green Wine Producer Trophy was the result of an extensive commitment to sustainable practices that sets the business apart from its competitors. The company’s various initiatives reflect a holistic approach to sustainability that encompasses every aspect of the wine production process, from vineyard management to transportation. Lanchester’s dedication to sourcing from suppliers who share their sustainability ethos further strengthens their commitment. The judges noted: “Lanchester's industry-wide approach to sustainability was a highlight for us. Their various innovations showcase their dedication to wide-sweeping sustainability with tangible results, particularly the pioneering use of the Verallia 300g bottle.”
In addition to their innovative production methods, Lanchester Wines actively prioritises partnerships with sustainable suppliers and community-focused initiatives. The company fosters relationships with wineries in regions like Australia, Chile, Moldova, New Zealand, South Africa, and the USA, ensuring that all aspects of their supply chain adhere to sustainable practices. By utilising bulk shipping methods that drastically reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional bottling, Lanchester not only enhances its operational efficiency but also sets a benchmark for the industry.
Lanchester's unwavering dedication to environmental stewardship and innovative approaches to wine production not only benefit the industry but also serve as an inspiring model for future generations. Cheers to Lanchester Wine for leading the way towards a greener and more sustainable future in the world of wine!
