Beverage Nation
is dedicated to bringing our customers a wider and wider
selection of organic and biodynamic wines. Expect to see
many more offerings in the months to come. Many vintners
practice organic farming but all are not certified. Many
European wine makers have traditionally been organic for
decades and sometimes centuries. We will identify producers
that are organic or transitioning into organic but are not
certified.

For
example, Gallo Of Sonoma is very passionate about sustainable
agriculture and pays much attention to being as natural
as possible but is not organic. This trend in even very
high profile fine wine producers such as Gallo Of Sonoma
is very encouraging for the future of great organic
wines. Look for direct links to organic producers in
the near future.

| What is Organic
Wine |
|
|
Organic wine is made
from grapes that have been grown without the artificial help of
chemical fertilizers or insecticides and are grown on land that
has not been exposed to these ingredients for a specified number
of years. Grapes have traditionally been one of the most heavily
sprayed crops and part of this residue can end up in your glass.
The key component to organic farming is the soil and maintaining
a healthy clean environment.

Organic Wine
Making
|
Organic wine
is most often minimally produced and usually vintners avoid
the use of sulfur dioxide in filtering wine. Cultured yeast
is not required as the wild yeast has not been killed by
insecticides and the use of sulfur dioxide (Although natural)
as a preservative is usually kept to a minimum.

What is Biodynamic

|
|
Biodynamic farming
emphasizes a harmony with nature and the entire local ecosystem.
These farmers are passionate and believe all forces of nature
including the position of the moon and stars influence the grapes
and ultimately the wine.
