When buying wine, look for biodynamic or organic varieties. Many pesticide-free, Earth-friendly brands are readily available today at all price points. And instead of carrying out your wine purchase in paper and plastic bags, opt to reuse one of the store's many cardboard boxes. They're an easy and durable way to cart your bottles of delicious vino home.
