Why drink organic wine instead of regular wine?
Before asking “Why drink organic wine?” you need to know exactly what it is! A general overview to open your eyes into the world of natural wine is the basic criteria:
- The grapes used in making organic wine must come from vineyards that do not use synthetic chemicals, such as weed killers and pesticides.
- Organic wine is an expression of the people and place that produce it and should reflect the character of its territory.
- When eating food, organic wine is considered to be a fantastic accompaniment to it.
Why should we drink organic and natural wines over normal wine?
Organic and natural wine is considerably healthier. The health benefits are present in these wines thanks to their antioxidants and other beneficial properties. When there are no pesticides and additives used, you do not end up putting them into your body – as with ‘normal’ wine.
Natural and organic wines taste great. Today, there are many high quality natural wines to choose from – often at a much high quality. This means there is an alternative to drinking those wines that you might not completely enjoy and love. Trying a number of different types will allow you to find the perfect wine for every occasion.
Natural and organic wines do not cost too much. Although you can’t buy a great organic or natural wine for just a pound or two, usually – you can get a great organic or natural wine for less than 10 pounds. As a wine becomes more expensive, it will generally mean that the winemaking process has been much more careful and attentive, putting quality above quantity.
Organic wine communicates the beauty of biodiversity – and one bottle is different from the next, which counterbalances the prevailing trend towards the homogenisation of taste. Organic wine inspires knowledge about the bottle of wine you drink, allowing it to resemble a real character, allowing it to show its heritage through its taste.
Of course, you could just go out and buy a wine and drink it without a care in the world. Alternatively, people are exploring different types of wines to allow a much more enjoyable and interesting wine drinking experience.
