(GlobeNewswire) - Following the launch of Wines of Chile's Sustainability Code in early 2011, the first 14 wineries received this recognition after a rigorous assessment and inspection process. Wineries were certified on the first of three chapters of the code, which evaluates vineyard management processes and standards. The second and third chapters, which relate to the winery itself and social responsibility respectively, will be certified in 2012. This all-inclusive approach makes Wines of Chile's Sustainability Code the most ambitious and comprehensive among wine producing nations.
