All about organic wine
So the holiday season is here upon us and with it the easy, and usually appreciated, bottle-of-wine gift. Make it an organic wine this year! What exactly does that mean?Well, according to Jason Pelletier of Low Impact Living, there are several definitions:
First up are wines made from organically-grown grapes, that were grown with natural fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Next up is "true" organic wine, which is wine without sulfites, the preservative used in 99% of wines. True organic wine is hard to find though and Pelletier dispels the myth that sulfites cause headaches anyway (I beg to differ on that one!) Finally, we have biodynamic wine, which is made from grapes that are "ultra-organic" using natural methods and in rhythm with nature.
