The Reality Behind Organic Wines and Wine Gift Ideas

The Reality Behind Organic Wines and Wine Gift Ideas

These days, more and more people are choosing to eat and drink organically. And why not? Organic foods are better for you, and for the environment. Sure, organic products are a little more expensive than their preservative counterparts, but they are doing wonders to your body, both inside and out. And, thus, it is no surprise that many people are choosing to fill up their wine glasses with organic wine. However, there is a big different between organic wines, and wines made from organic grapes. The difference lies in the sulphites.

Organic Wines are wines that are made from organically grown grapes without any added sulphites. However, some ‘organic ‘wines are made from organically grown grapes but still contain up to 100ppm of added sulphites. The problem with total organic wines is that it cannot be labelled organic unless it is 100 percent organic, which means 0 S02 present. Every country is different, but, under the USDA and America’s National Organic Program, this is the way it is. Even with an added 100ppm of sulphite, the product is 99.9 percent organic. However, this is not enough to classify as true organic wines.

So, what does this mean for the organic wine industry and the consumers? Well, it means a lot of confusion. You want to fill your wine glasses up with organic wines but, with the confusion surrounding the term ‘organic’ how can you know that your wine choice is actually organically grown and manufactured? An organic wine, in the United States, must come with a certified United States Department of Agriculture Seal (USDA). They tend to be more expensive than the other labeled wines; however, you can be rest assured that you are doing your body and the environment a favor.

As with all wine, it comes down to taste. If you have an opportunity to sample some organic wines then go for it. In fact, take a trip to your local wine shop and ask questions. I’m sure a tasting will soon follow, you never know, you may find what you have been looking for. Another way to get a sample is to look at the wine list at a restaurant and see if they offer the organic by the glass. If they do, ask for a sample first. Asking for a small sample first if a great way to see if you are going to like something before you spend the money on a full glass or even a bottle.

If picking up a bottle of organic wine as a present, why not pair it off with some of the common wine accessories on the market? For that perfect housewarming present, a nice bottle of red organic wine will go great with a pair of red wine glasses. Or, how about surprising your newlywed friends with his and her corkscrews or wine racks? Cheese boards are a great addition to a bottle of wine for any dinner party. Wine gifts complement perfectly with a bottle of organic wine. Show your truly care about your friend, as well as the environment.

    1. Glue-like sweet smell of propanone. Colour changes from orange to green.
    2. The propan-2-ol is oxidised.
    3. Done. It's a ketone.
    4. No change in colour. Tertiary alcohols cannot be oxidised in this way.
    5. Acidified KMnO4.
    6. 2-methyl propan-1-ol.

    Just because the meat says organic doesn't mean they weren't caged in tight spaces. You want to look for packaging that says free range on it. Those animals are allowed to graze and are feed a good diet.

    Wow, the things people come up with to separate people from their money.

    It's a complete scam and I would wonder about a store that carries such items. Either the owners do not understand what organic foods are or they are into ripping off their customers by selling such useless and likely expensive items. Either way I would find another health food store that is honest and knowledgeable

    Hey MissLiss,

    I've heard meats and dairy since the fat in these foods tends to absorb more of the pestcides and growth hormones used in conventional farming. However, I've also started to use organic, unbleached flour in my baking and found that everyting I baked turned out nicer. Of course, organic fruits and veggies (when they're in season) are tastier and healthier. You might even find that there's a co-op organic farm nearby that you can get a membership tp for not too much money.

    As the other girl mentioned, organic tampons are probably made of organic cotton. Organic cotton is like a ZILLION times better for the environment than regular cotton. Cotton is a crop that has REALLY high pesticide use, so organic obviously, would be way better than that….

    Tampax are a blend between rayon I think and cotton or just rayon? They're at least partially synthetic.

    organic foods dont have growth hormones in them, causing early puberty and metapause [spelling?]. other chemicals can cause brain damage, liver & kidney damage, and even some cases of learning disabilties. i grew up on organic milk because the cows arnt fed growth hormones to produce more milk and fruits & vegatables because they arnt sprayed with pesticides.

  15. moshugp says:

    yes, but with most things… there is an added expense to "organics" when dealing with things such as vegetables so it would be a cost disaster unless it was the same price as other sources.
