Wine Carbon Footprint

Interesting visualization from the National Geographic on the Carbon Footprint of Wine consumption in the US based on numbers from a study by “Dr. Vino“.

    Wow, I wonder why that largest if from Napa to NY?

    I guess the visualizations fails somewhat in that they had to actually label “Largest Carbon Footprint” and smallest. Nonetheless, very interesting and appealing.

    oh, that’s because the whole trip is done with trucks and it’s the furthest. shipping with a ship is better like in the case of france to nyc even with longer distances.
