Climate change affects various aspects of our life and our industries. It is of course also the case in the wine production. But we need to understand the effects in details and also analyse every region and country differently. Perhaps, the effects of climate change are not the same everywhere? Therefore, the answer to climate change should not be the same everywhere. These are all valid questions don’t you think? 

So, I thought it would be interesting to take a case and to see how the Belgian wine industry is facing the issue. To help us see better and understand the big picture, Vicky Corbeels, Sustainability researcher in the Wine sector came on our microphone for a chat.

Wine production in Belgium has evolved considerably in recent years, both in terms of quality and volume. Belgian winemakers are exporting all over the world, and retailers are taking an increasing interest in the phenomenon. 

Delhaize is even a forerunner in this field: in addition to reserving a place for Belgian winemakers on its shelves, the retailer has even collaborated with one of them to create its own brand of Belgian wine, Leo Vinum.  To talk about this project, my guests are Christophe Bollyn, buyer at Delhaize, and Jeroen Houben from Domein Hoenshof.
