I have news for you - you don't have to give up wine to drink better. 

By choosing organic and preservative-free wines, you can continue to indulge in a glass or two of delicious wine, whilst also taking steps towards a healthier lifestyle, and just as importantly, a healthier planet.

Here are the TOP 10 benefits in choosing organic and preservative-free wines:

1. Better quality - tastes delicious:  Organic grapes are grown, and the wines are made as naturally as possible, without deadening chemical inputs, allowing the quality of fruit to shine though. Combined with winemaking that avoids all additives and preservatives, the primal fruit flavours are amplified. This results in delicious tasting wine that truly reflects the soils and climate of the vineyard in which the grapes are grown.


2. Healthier for you: Organic and preservative-free wines are free from residual vineyard chemicals, artificial additives and sulphur dioxide preservatives, making them a healthier option for those who want to reduce their exposure to chemicals. Sulfites are preservatives added to wine to extend its shelf life, however, they can cause allergic reactions in some people, including headaches, rashes, and breathing difficulties. 


3. Better for the environment: Organic farming and winemaking practices protect the environment by reducing soil, water, and air pollution. Practices such as crop rotation, composting and reduced tillage help to maintain soil structure and fertility, leading to healthier soil that is more resistant to erosion and drought.


4. Antioxidant-rich: Organic wines contain high levels of antioxidants, such as polyphenols and resveratrol, which can help protect against cellular damage and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. These potent antioxidants have been shown to have a variety of health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, improving brain function, and reducing inflammation.


5. Promotes sustainable agriculture: By choosing organic wines, you are supporting farmers who use sustainable agriculture practices, which helps to preserve the planet for future generations.


6. Better for vineyard and winery workers: Organic farming practices prioritise the health and well-being of farmworkers. Organic farming methods rely on manual labour, reducing the need for heavy machinery and exposure to toxic chemicals. This improves the health and well-being of all workers involved in the business.


7. Promotes good bacteria: Drinking organic and no preservative wine can help promote good bacteria in the gut, improving gut health and potentially reducing the risk of certain diseases.


8. Supports small family businesses and local communities: By choosing organic, you are supporting local farmers and communities, which can help to create a more sustainable and resilient food system.


9. Better for biodiversity & animal welfare: Organic farming not only reduces the use of harmful chemicals in soils and waterways, it also promotes the growth of a diverse range of plants, which in turn supports a wide variety of wildlife. This helps to maintain a balanced ecosystem and protects against species loss.


10. Stimulate your mind: Each bottle, with its unique and authentic flavour profile, has a story to tell about its origins and makeup. Perceiving and pondering the true taste and aroma of the wine, and recognising flavour components, can be a more pleasurable and satisfying drinking experience.

So there you have it! Drinking organic and preservative-free wines, in moderation of course, is really better for us and this little blue planet. DISCOVER A BETTER WORLD OF WINE TODAY.
