Sustainable Wines - Natural, Organic, Biodynamic & the works
If you consider conventional winemaking as a scientific philosophy of winemaking, then other wine styles like natural or biodynamic winemaking can be interpreted as different philosophies to winemaking. While science always plays a role in fermentation, these other wine philosophies also consider other influences as part of the overall approach to winemaking, starting from the land that the grapes are planted on, to the fermentation & maturation processes.
Canada
Canada is not the first wine producing country that most people think of, and yet it's vineyards are known for quality cool climate product. Despite it's massive size, it's production is only about 2% as that of the United States. Expect powerful Cabernet blends and aromatic dry Rieslings, but more so than anything, ice wine is the unquestionable flagship of Canadian wines.
Sauvignon Blanc
Do you love the smell of fresh cut grass & a tangy freshness? Then Sauvignon Blanc might be the white wine of choice for you. The versatility of this grape allows it to be grown in many regions, and thus will have a variety of styles, ranging from clean to luscious.
Moldova
Probably the only country where wine is declared as a food product, and the state owned Mileștii Mici winery has the largest collection of wines, containing about 2 million bottles. It has the greatest vineyard density in the world, with about 7% of arable land being used for wine production.
