Unsurprisingly, that doesn’t seem to be true, but also the studies seem to arrive at pretty different numbers about how much worse it is.
Some authors, such as Neto et al. (2013), show that the distribution of wine has a relatively small impact of 1.9% (0.05 kg CO2e/bottle of 750 ml) relative to the viticulture and wine bottling stages in the supply chain. Others, such as Bonamente et al. (2016), estimate the distribution of bottled wine to represent approximately 41.1% of the total life cycle emissions of wine at consumption.
Exactly. Even in the worst case, it’s better to ship a bottle of wine from California to Canada, than try to use greenhouses to make a Canadian winery a reality.
