Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

Organic wine is made from organically grown grapes. A good rule of thumb is the better care taken of the grapes, the better the wine produced from them will be. This theory would certainly apply to the organic movement. A great deal of care is taken to ensure the quality and healthfulness of the grapes. The organic wines tend to have more character, a more pleasant aroma, and gentler on the palate.

Non-organic wines are made from the average, run of the mill grapes. Of course, there are many different types and vineyards to choose from. Most people are already familiar with the flavor and boutique of these wines.

Taste tests have shown that the preference between organic and non usually run equal. The interesting thing is that no individual preferred all organic or all non-organic in a blind taste test. It turned out to be a combination in most cases. If naturally grown grapes are important to you than organic wines would be the best option. If taste and scent is what draws you to a wine, then the best thing to do may be to hold your own taste test and determine your personal favorites that way.

If organic wines are something you have never tried, this holiday season may be a good time to pick up a bottle. You may just find yourself with a new favorite. Written by Angela Crout-Mitchell.
