Abstract
To overcome the adverse effects of climate change, wineries can develop environmental management programs to save and reutilize the resources they use. This represents a change of business paradigm in the wine sector that can be extremely beneficial, given that, on the one hand, wineries that develop their environmental management can save costs and protect the environment, favoring the preservation of the environment to ensure the permanence of the sector in the territory; and, on the other hand, such management can serve as a differentiating element in the market, allowing the winery to generate a competitive advantage. The objective of this study is to know precisely what practices can be developed to ensure a correct environmental management. To this end, through a multiple case study, a decalogue of practices is identified that every winery can develop to favor the preservation of the environment in which it operates.
