OK, I admit it. The things I most consider when buying a bottle of wine is how good it tastes and how much it costs (over $15 is a rarity for me; less than $10 is my ideal).

As for worries about sustainability, the price point I’m looking at doesn’t usually mention anything about “organic,” “sustainably produced” or other similar green buzzwords.

But, it turns out, there are quite a large number of consumers who are paying attention to such matters — though presumably less penny-pinching than me — in matters of wine and food.
