VINTED: Episode 11
Winery Spotlight: Archer Roose on Sustainability and Clean Wine Inside the Can and Out
In This Episode…
When it comes to sustainability efforts, the wine brands and consumers are the ones that will drive change. But how can your brand lower its carbon footprint to help save the industry?
Because the wine industry is disproportionately affected by climate change, Marian Leitner-Waldman says that brands need to act fast to save themselves — and our planet. That’s why she’s on a mission to uphold sustainability through clean wine in a can. Avoiding artificial food coloring, animal byproducts, added sugars, and difficult-to-recycle glass bottles, Marian is promoting clean, renewable ingredients and packaging that consumers can trust. How else is Marian disrupting the industry for the better?
In this episode of VINTed, Scout Driscoll talks with Marian Leitner-Waldman, Co-founder of Archer Roose, about environmental sustainability, transparency, and a mission-driven brand story. Marian discusses Archer Roose’s work with low-intervention vineyards, celebrity partnerships, and clean ingredients. She also shares how their design is telling a story about powerful women in wine!
