Gloucester, MA, August 4, 2025 – Alileo, a sustainable Sicilian boxed wine brand, is proud to announce that they are now a member of the Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR), the leading global platform advancing sustainability and best practices across the wine industry. SWR catalyses change by developing a research-backed evidence base that drives clear action across the wine supply chain. With over a hundred members spanning the entire wine value chain, SWR’s initiatives go beyond incremental changes, aiming to set new standards and foster a culture of sustainability that benefits all parts of the industry. SWR enables wine businesses to work collectively on shared issues, develop an evidence base for action, and drive impact.

Created by husband and wife team Antonio Bertone and Alexandra Drane, Alileo is produced in partnership with Bertone’s family in Sicily and imported to the United States.
