Wine Climate and Sustainability -wine seminar

About the session 
Set against the backdrop of an English vineyard, this immersive two-hour tasting explores how climate and sustainability considerations shape every bottle of wine. As we taste a curated selection of English wines, we’ll uncover how vineyards respond to ESG challenges and shifting consumer expectations. 
Join us to discover how lessons from the vineyard translate directly into smarter, future-fit ESG strategies in insurance and financial services. 

NB We have arranged a coach from Reading for those that require transport to the venue and back afterwards.  We will provide directions within the joining instructions nearer the date for those that wish to make their own way
 
Learning outcomes
