WINE, BEER & DRINKS SUMMER 19 We serve natural, biodynamic & low intervention wines... what is natural wine? Natural Wine is farmed organically and made without adding or removing anything in the cellar. No additives or processing aids are used, and intervention is kept to a minimum. They are unfined and unfiltered, resulting in a living wine with character and personality - sometimes with cloudiness and a slight effervescence. what about biodynamic? The idea behind biodynamics is that everything in the universe is interconnected, including the moon, planets and stars. Biodynamic farming is completely organic, but also follows a special lunar calendar. Additionally, biodynamic wine allows no ‘manufactured’ additions, even organic ones. For example, commercial yeast won’t be added to the wine, instead harnessing naturally occurring yeasts from the grapes and winery - the ultimate expression of terroir. ​ ​ The issue of... ​ ​sulphites Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is used by many winemakers to preserve wine and prevent oxidation. Natural wine has no added sulphur (although some may naturally occur). Apart from the fact that the idea of pumping chemicals into your wine is a bit unpleasant, the use of SO2 has been linked to allergic reactions, asthma and much worse hangovers. Green(er) Wine You wouldn’t want to eat badly reared meat or unsustainable fish, so why drink wine that is full of chemicals and bad for the planet? At Farmyard our wines are chosen with ethics and sustainability in mind. All wine has an impact on the environment, but, just as with food, there are ways to drink greener. Most of our range is natural or biodynamic, and others are low intervention and organic. We call it #GreenWine. how is our wine sustainable? Working out whether a wine is sustainable or not is a complicated business, but a few of the key principles to consider are whether farming methods are organic, water and energy efficiency in the vineyard and winery, and whether winery workers are paid fairly and treated well. Transportation is also an important issue, which is why the majority of our wines are from Europe (and Sussex and Kent). We believe a few treats are worth bringing in from further afield, though last but not least… ​ ​we love it At the end of the day, what is the point in natural, sustainable or biodynamic wine if it doesn’t taste great. For us, natural wine is exciting and expressive on the palate, it is wine with a story to tell and a direct connection to its roots. We believe that what’s in your glass should reflect its natural environment - grapes and growers going their own way, a true taste of terroir and its people. naturally vegan + vegetarian ​ ​ The reason that not all wine is vegetarian or vegan is the way that it is clarified through a process known as ‘fining’. Common agents used for this are casein (milk protein), albumin (egg whites), gelatin (animal protein) and isinglass (fish bladder). Natural wine is unfined so naturally vegan. | By The Glass | See ‘the long list’ for full details and descriptions.

  • An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain

    An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain

    beverages Review An Overview on Sustainability in the Wine Production Chain Antonietta Baiano Dipartimento di Scienze Agrarie, degli Alimenti e dell’Ambiente, University of Foggia, Via Napoli, 25, 71122 Foggia, Italy; [email protected]; Tel.: +39-881-589249 Abstract: Despite the great relevance of sustainable development, the absence of a shared approach to sustainable vitiviniculture is evident. This review aimed to investigate sustainability along the entire wine chain, from primary production to the finished wine, with specific attention to three key dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social, and economic) and relating measures. Therefore, it was decided to: investigate the ways in which sustainability is applied in the various stages of the production chain (wine growing, wineries, distribution chain, and waste management); analyse the regulations in force throughout the world and the main labelling systems; provide numerical information on sustainable grapes and wines; study the objective quality of sustainable wines and that perceived by consumers, considering that it affects their willingness to pay. The research highlighted that rules and regulations on organic production of grapes and wines are flanked by several certification schemes and labelling systems. Although sustainable wines represent a niche in the market, in recent years, there has been an increase in vineyards conducted with sustainable (mainly organic and biodynamic) methods, and a consequent increase in the production of sustainable wines both in traditional and emerging producing countries. Although (or perhaps precisely for this reason) no significant differences in quality are found among sustainable and conventional wines, consumers are willing to pay a premium for sustainably produced wines. This finding should encourage wineries to both put in place environmental activities and intensify their communication.

Located in the Tarn departement of France - a 3hr drive south east from Bordeaux and about 70km north east from Toulouse - his tiny distillery produces what might very well be the most magnificent expressions of fruits liquor/sweet-wine and eau-de-vie. The man farms biodynamically 20 hectares (ha) divided as such: 3 hectares of vine dedicated to growing endemic grape variety: - 1.8 ha of Mauzac Rose - 0.5 ha of Prunelart - 0.7 ha of Folle Noire 2.5 ha of fruit trees: - 0.7 ha of Greengage - 1.3 ha of Pear trees - 0.5 ha of a field blend of fruit trees such as sour cherry trees, quince trees etc... 1.5 ha of truffle grove (and depending on the year, 5 ha of sunflowers and 4 ha of other cereals. The rest of the land is made of woods) The adventure started in 1967 when Laurent’s father started his one-man traveling distiller operation: while his dad had been growing some fruit trees for the family’s consumption, he made a living going from one village to the other, distilling the fruits small growers and families would have harvested from their garden.

    Determining Consumer Interest in Georgian Wines

    DETERMINING CONSUMER INTEREST IN GEORGIAN WINES Presented to the Faculty of the Wine and Viticulture and Agribusiness Department California Polytechnic State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science by Julie Ann Inderbitzen May 2010 1 Abstract 2 This study was done in order to determine if there is a demand in California for wines originating in the Eastern European Country of Georgia. A survey was used in order to collect primary data from 100 respondents in two locations. The surveys were conducted in Pleasanton, CA and in San Luis Obispo, CA and were later analyzed using surveymonkey.com Microsoft Excel 2008. The data was analyzed using chi square tests, independent t-tests as well as observed frequencies and charts. The tests were used to determine demographic data about California wine consumers and to measure their interest in wines from Georgia. From the data collected, two groups were found in wine consumers. The first group was respondents under the age of 35, while the second group was those over the age of 35. The older age group was determined to be more interested in certain characteristics when purchasing wine, and was more likely to buy a wine from the country of Georgia. This study could be used by others to help understand the wine industry and consumer wants. For foreign import countries like Georgia this study may be very helpful in understanding how consumers in California choose wines and why they would be either likely or unlikely to purchase new and unique wines.

The potential of the Georgian wine industry is not fully utilized. High fragmentation of agricultural land leads to limited production that restricts farmers’ access to capital resources, finances, and markets, and prevents further development of the Georgian wine industry. Grape collectors and wine makers need help to join their capital and efforts, to gain economies of scale in production and marketing by jointly accessing agricultural inputs. This study aims to identify the importance of farmer cooperatives for grape producers in the Georgian wine industry in order to overcome inefficiency in the sector. Furthermore, this research project investigates the barriers and driving forces of smallholder grape farmers or wine makers to join cooperatives. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders of the Georgian wine industry in order to assess different perspectives on the importance and benefits of farmer cooperatives in the local context. The interview results permit economic analysis of transaction costs, agency theory and property rights in the context of the nascent cooperative movement in the Georgian wine industry. The interviews revealed that development of agriculture cooperatives in the Georgian wine industry is strongly dependent on both farmer enthusiasm and governmental support.1 1.
