| CSWA released its first interim progress report in December 2006 to highlight the program's accomplishments since the 2004 statewide report was published (see below). The progress report also acknowledges CSWA's many collaborators who are crucial to the success of the program and describes the many areas of sustainability addressed through action plan workshops, including ecosystems management, integrated pest management, air and water quality, and energy efficiency. The report specifically details progress made through the target education events on integrated pest management and adoption of practices by growers. The next full sustainability report will be released in 2009.

| CSWA, Wine Institute and CAWG presented its first report measuring the level of sustainable practices among vintners and growers on a statewide basis at a press conference held October 6, 2004 in San Francisco. The report is the first time an entire industry sector has used a common assessment tool to document the adoption of sustainable practices among its members and reported the results publicly. The presentation was held at Fort Mason's Golden Gate Room and attended by wine industry stakeholders, government officials, and members of academia, the environmental community and the media. |
|
| The evaluation results collected from over 70 workshops are contained in the 2004 report, and represent about 40 percent of the California's 260 million case production and 25 percent of its 529,000 wine acres. |
