“The farm and the vineyard, you know, it’s part of me,” Hunt said, adding that she wanted to be able to spend all of her time helping other farms and businesses implement sustainable practices. “I’ll let the people whose dream and life is to make wine do that part, and I’ll happily support them.”Vinny Aliperti, owner of Billsboro Winery along Seneca Lake, is working to improve the wine industry’s environmental footprint. In the past year, he’s helped establish communal wine bottle dumpsters that divert the glass from entering landfills and reuse it for construction materials.

But Aliperti said he’d like to see more nearby wineries and vineyards in sustainability efforts.

“We believe this change is at least partially linked to the differences in currency exchange rates; however, we are actively reviewing and working with the Government of Canada on the potential impacts of tariffs, and we will continue to fly where there is demand,” the airline said in an email.McMillan said the cruise industry may also feel an impact as Canadians may decide not to take trips that leave out of Los Angeles, Houston or Miami.
