Under the patronage of the International Organisation of Vine and Wine 

In this talk, we’ll unveil the Porto Protocol’s new report on water stewardship in viticulture and winemaking—and highlight water’s central role in environmental impact and long-term wine industry resilience.

From understanding water cycles to improving soil moisture, irrigation, reuse, and winery efficiency, we’ll bridge science with hands-on practices.

Join us to uncover how practical solutions can help save water across every stage of production, one drop—and one bottle—at a time.
