Biodynamic Wine – Organic Wine

photo credit: lpwines

We saw Biodynamic wines listed on a restaurant’s wine menu and wondered what it meant. With the holiday season in full swing, a lot of wine is going to be bought, gifted and consumed.  Folks want to be green so they are paying more attention to labels.

Biodynamic wines are wines made with grapes farmed without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.  They allow only sulfides to be added to the wine. This type of wine is popular in Europe as the movement started there in 1924.

Organic wine is made from organically grown grapes and made without added sulfites.  Certified Organic Wines will have the USDA organic logo emblazon on them.  If you get headaches after drinking wine and cannot tolerate sulfites, try an Organic wine.

You will also find Wines labeled made with Organic Grapes but not labeled USDA Organic.  These probably have sulfites.
