The Benefits of Drinking Clean and Organic Wines

The Benefits of Drinking Clean and Organic Wines - Boutique Wine and Champagne

Clean Wines, Organic Wines, and Mushroom Reishi Shiraz. These three types of wines have health benefits. Why are they beneficial to health? Do they taste good? This article analyses each type to ascertain their origins, where they can be bought, their flavours and their health benefits.

Are organic wines better, or simply another taste, palate and health option? The vast majority of wines are not organic, but many people today prefer all their food and wine to meet this standard. Therefore some winemakers have changed the way they grow their grapes, and make their wines, to offer choice in this market.

To be certified organic, the wine must be free from pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Each country actually has its own certification process for organic wines. There are some variations, but generally, an organic wine will have the following features:

● It will be free from artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides.

● It will not be genetically modified.

● The land used to grow the grapes will have been free from artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides for a required amount of years.

● It will contain fewer sulphites and no artificial additives.

● The above factors will be certified and inspected by site visits.

For many people, choosing organic wines is not a matter of taste, or because it´s fashionable. Clean organic wines can have health benefits, especially for those who suffer from allergies or intolerance to sulphites.

For the vast majority, the amount of sulphites in wine has no ill effects on the body. However, sulphur dioxide (SO2), can produce unpleasant symptoms in those with allergies or intolerance to sulphites.

Symptoms such as rashes, hives, cramps and blotchy skin, can make life unpleasant for keen wine drinkers whose bodies are allergic to SO2. Also, wine drinkers who have severe asthma or lack the enzymes needed to break down sulphites in their bodies, definitely need to choose organic wines.

Organic wines are also better for our environment. They are natural, sustainable and eco-friendly because of the elimination of chemicals and artificial fertilizers. This means that our groundwater and other waterways will be less polluted.

To buy organic wine easily, you can purchase online a selection of very fine organic Australian and French wines from Boutique Wine & Champagne.

Beautifully complementing this, is a soft underlying note of earthiness from the Reishi mushrooms imparted into the wine during barrel fermentation which immediately fills you with warmth and a sense of wellbeing.¨
