Drinking Organic Wine!!

Do you eat or try to eat mostly organic? But do you also drink organic? I think its hard sometimes to remember all the little things that can cause us to eat unhealthy. Well because I'm a wine lover, I decided to investigate whether there were organic wines. And what the best kinds are and what the really benefits are.First of all organic wine sales have grown since September 2009, and has outpaced non-organic wine. Organic wine, is made that is made from grapes that aren't treated with artificial chemical fertilizers, fungicides, pesticides, and herbicides. In the USA, strict rules govern the organic wine-making process at all stages of production including harvesting, the types of yeast that can be used during fermentation as well as storage conditions. These rules are applied for all imported and domestic wines that acquire USDA certification.

Top Five Organic Wines:

• BioKult 2010 Rosé (Niederösterreich, Austria) $13
• Les Hauts de Lagarde 2010 Rouge(Bordeaux, France)$13
• Santa Julia 2011 Chardonnay Orgánica (Mendoza, Argentina) $11
• Korbel Winery Organic Brut (California) $15
• Silver Thread Vineyard 2010 Semi-Dry Riesling (New York) $15

As with all Organic foods, its a great benefits to our environment and planet.
Just like most organic foods, organic wine will be more expensive, but comes with so many health benefits. First off organic wine's grapes will not be exposed to chemicals, preventing those chemicals from entering your system, and causing many health problems. Also organic winemakers do NOT add things in their wines for added flavors, which can also contain chemicals. Lastly because of the way organic wines are made, they produce bolder flavors, and brighter colors of wine.

 

Bottom line, just like anything else organic is better than chemical ridden, processed, GMO foods, and wines. I know that the price, and the search to get the organic wine, can seem like a pain, but in the end the trade off is your health. So you have to ask yourself "What is my health worth to me" and if your health is worth searching a little harder for a organic wine, and paying a few more dollars than you will live a long happy life!!
