PVV and Sustainability — Can it Make Money?
- Operating sustainable vineyards/wineries is very expensive
- The standard joke in the wine business "How do you make a small fortune in the wine business? Start with a big one."
- At $35, we don't make money if we sell all of our wine to out-of-state distributors
- Key for us is mix, selling more wine direct (internet, tasting room, wine club)
- Finding customers tuned into sustainability/organic/environment is a key objective for us
