🚨 Hugely powerful – and brave – speech by Nigel Greening of Felton Road on winning the Golden Vines Sustainability Award. To a roomful of guests who had each paid £10,000 to be there:
'Wine is the highest pinnacle of farming that mankind has yet created, achieved via a level of care, fear and determination that is the equal of any human activity. But we are going to lose it all…
'Not to some cataclysmic event, but to a billion trips to the supermarket in the Range Rover. To a million winter breaks in the Maldives.
'Only we can stop it. Not by waiting for somebody to do something. But by doing it ourselves.
'All of you are innovators, leaders, people who are used to making things happen. I’m not telling you to become a monk, I’m asking you to use your talent to make it happen.'
In 30 years of UN climate negotiations, eliminating the primary cause of global heating - fossil fuels - has never been mentioned in the decisions, not even in the COP27 in 2022.
And these were the results.
My heart goes out to all the many vignerons in France and Italy (and beyond?) whose vineyards have been badly hit by hail these past few days. Includes Chinon, Vouvray, Auvergne and Savoie. Photo below is close to the best Mondeuse vineyards around Arbin. Bon courage, mes amis,😥
