There are many vineyards that use organic practices but are not labeled organic. Meeting all the criteria for being certified organic can be expensive and difficult for some vineyards to achieve particularly if they are small. Every country has different standards for this. I think this is an interesting issue because we can’t completely rely on the label and knowing your wines can be impractical. I buy organic produce and do not like the use of pesticides but in some cases I can understand limited use. All that being said, I have a tendency to believe that organic practices produce a better product and therefore a better glass of wine. Very thought provoking. Thanks Maris.

Thanks for the info on organic vs. conventional. I wish it was in my budget to buy organic wine on a regular basis, that’s probably the biggest reason why I don’t drink much! I’ll have to try the ones you suggested and make a list next time I go to Whole Foods!

We drank some organic champagne just last night! My sis is a HUGE organic food advocate so when I saw that bottle, I just knew I had to get it for her :).

More and more vineyards are going organic and using biodynamic initiatives. I get my grape leaves from a local orgnaic vineyard.
