CARBON FOOTPRINTS OF DIFFERENT DRINKS
Wine has a carbon footprint 6.5 times that of bottled water, according to recent research by Nestlé Waters. Its figures are in grams of CO2 equivalent per litre.
Across the European Union, apparently, bottled water accounts for 17% of beverage consumption, but only 8% of beverage greenhouse gas emissions.
