Willamette Valley Vineyards Tell Us Why Wine Bottles Are Made Of Green Glass
A famous Oregon Winery called Willamette Valley Vineyards turned a silvery 25 this year. Apart from offering quality liquor to us all for all these years, this winery also set a benchmark of eco-friendliness. From the very beginning, Willamette Valley Vineyards has been offering 10 cents for each wine bottle brought in for recycling irrespective of who the original producer is!
The bottle deposit law was first passed by Oregon that supports recycling. Under this law, participating vendors are offered 5 cents for each drink container they recycle. And wine bottles were not included in this. So, you can see what an important and inspiring role Willamette Valley Vineyards is playing. Founding winegrower, Jim Bernau, was also honored by Low Input Viticulture and Enology (LIVE) for his vineyards’ sustainability.
But there is more. In 2007, Willamette Valley Vineyards introduced sustainable cork stoppers that were certified by the Rain Forest Alliance. Kudos to the organization for telling us really why the wine bottles are made of green glass!
