For a while
now organic and biodynamic wines have been gradually gaining ground shoulder to
shoulder with slow food and healthy lifestyle.
Even though
this trend may be perceived as a novelty, only few decades back there was practically
no need to look for an organic shop or market where one could get groceries
that not only, though not necessarily, looked good but also tasted great.
Gradual changes
in agriculture and food processing and switching from traditional to science
based approach have lead to substantial reduction of nature’s control over the
process. It’s safe to say though that using latest scientific achievements in this
area is justified as long as it doesn’t translate into poor quality and
tasteless commercial mass production.
But let’s
stick to wine.
