Don Sobelman with guest speaker, Adam Love from Roux, discuss "“Forever Chemicals” and the Wine Industry: A New Vintage of Liability Concerns."

We’re uncorking another magnum of legal and technical updates—because the PFAS conversation in the wine industry is far from over. Join us for a lively and informative follow-up to our February 2025 program on “forever chemicals” and their growing impact on wine production and regulatory compliance. "Forever chemicals" continue to be a significant concern due to their persistent nature and the increasing focus on their potential impact on health and the environment.   
This program is designed to provide the most up-to-date information and practical strategies to navigate the evolving landscape of PFAS regulations and liability risk, as well as:

  • Revisit key highlights from our first session
  • Share what’s changed (and what hasn’t) on the regulatory front
  • Discuss recent testing that has focused on consumer products (including European wines and American beers)
  • Break down what wineries need to know now—especially when it comes to potential risks and liabilities associated with vineyards, the winemaking process, and bottling

 Whether you’re a returning guest or new to the discussion, this is your chance to decant the latest updates and savor practical insights, all in one hour, including a Q&A session.
