What is the difference between a CCSW-Certified winery or vineyard and a winery or vineyard participating in CSWA’s existing Sustainable Winegrowing Program?
Certified participants are able to use a certification logo and/or claims on certified company web sites, secondary marketing materials and in certified winery facilities or vineyards. CSWA will also list certified wineries and vineyards on its web site: www.sustainablewinegrowing.org. Because of current eco-label protocols and discussions by both industry and government on this issue, use of logo and claims on wine bottles is not permitted at this time. Wineries and vineyards can still participate in CSWA’s Sustainable Winegrowing Program without applying for certification. They can complete self-assessments, attend workshops and communicate that they participate in the educational Sustainable Winegrowing Program.
