SWR Member Interview: Sustainability in the South African wine industry

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Tom Owtram talks with Maryna Calow, head of communications at Wines of South Africa (WOSA).

WOSA is a not-for-profit industry organisation which promotes the exports of all South African wine in key international markets. They discuss the current challenges faced by the South African wine industry, how sustainability is currently perceived, the barriers to organic adoption and certification, the potential trade offs when shipping wine in bulk, and highlights from Cape Wine 2022 where sustainability took centre stage of the three day conference.

This episode is part of our ‘SWR Member Interview’ podcast series. Each episode will feature a different guest speaker from the SWR in which we’ll highlight the latest news, innovations and developments of this member’s sustainability journey and their involvement in the SWR.
