Solar vineyards
Over the past few decades, California winemakers
have become renowned worldwide for their innovation,
be it in the cultivation and processing of grapes,
or through their savvy marketing, which has arguably
made wine as mainstream an American drink as beer.

the energy they need for harvesting grapes, bottling
wine, and refrigeration. In December, PHOTON
travels to vineyards in Napa and Sonoma counties
to explore why so many winemakers are going solar.
