Sustainability is the practice of businesses, especially agricultural ones, moving in the direction of balance: in the interplay of working the soil and growing products, all subject to blessings of good fortune. Reportedly, most New Zealand wine land is subject to sustainability: keeping in balance the financials, the ecological, and the equity, with all factors accounted for. The American wine community is also encouraging sustainability, integrating ecological balance and good business health. WineSpirit extends sustainability to the personal and interpersonal level, where you catch your balance: slow down, stop, breathe, lighten up, kick back, relax, open up, feel, and be… A glass of wine, raised for a toast, provides a unique opportunity for catching your “breath”, regaining your “balance”, and, connecting good people, good times, and manifold blessings in life. Raising your glass invites you to notice and appreciate more: where you are, with whom, and possibilities to make the interchange special and significant. With so much happening, it is difficult to practice personal and interpersonal sustainability. Often, you face too much pressure and lose your balance. Your toast allows you to savor a moment and an interaction, and, in so doing, regain a measure of balance. Practicing Sustainability is not just for grapes and vineyards; it’s for everyone. What connection do you make between sustainability of the land and in your life? How might people practicing sustainability gain in productivity and success? What impact could commitment to sustainability have on your work?
