The trend of consumers seeking to be more respectful of the environment in all areas is becoming more noticeable every day. In this sense, the food and beverage industry is growing along with this consumer trend and wines are no exception.
Today we have a wide range of possibilities when it comes to choosing this beverage. Conventional wines, prepared with traditional technologies and a percentage of alcohol.
Organic wines that come from wineries with organic vineyards, i.e. from agriculture that minimizes the use of chemical products such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides or chemical fertilizers. Organic and natural fertilizers are used to nourish the soil.
Biodynamic wines, these wineries maintain respect for the environment, but conceive the vineyard together with the land as a unified ecosystem taking into account the influence of the stars. The agricultural tasks are governed by the lunar calendar, throughout the whole process of caring for the vines. The land is considered as a living being and only natural fertilizers are used. This agriculture originated in the 1920s by the philosopher and scientist Rudolf Steiner and is certified with the Demeter seal.
Vegan wines, its regulations focus exclusively on eliminating the use of animal by-products in all stages of its production. For a wine to qualify as a vegan wine, it must be bottled without fining. Or if it is clarified, it must use fining agents that are not of animal origin. Certain proteins from vegetables such as potato or wheat are usually used.
De-alcoholized wines, to make these wines, wineries follow the same conventional process as in the preparation of wine, i.e. it starts as a normal wine before some or most of its alcohol content is removed. Wineries use different methods for this alcohol elimination process. Without altering the organoleptic properties of the wine and obtaining a quality product with all the flavor and aromas, but without alcohol.
