The Wine CEO Podcast Episode #59: Are Organic, Biodynamic, and Sustainable Wines all the same? Jan 19, 2022

Show notes

There are a lot of terms used on wine labels to denote the grape growing practices like "organic", "biodynamic", and sustainably farmed". But what does that mean for the wine? Can these terms be interchangeable to basically mean the wine is healthier? NO! These terms each have unique definitions and don't necessarily mean that your wine is "healthier". Listen to today's episode to learn all about these labelling terms and more! And don't forget to subscribe to the show so you never miss an episode.

The Wine CEO Podcast Episode #58: Why isn't wine vegan? Jan 12, 2022

Show notes

I'm often asked why all wine is not vegan. And the truth is that there are animal biproducts used in the production of wine, so most wines are not actually vegan friendly. Listen to today's episode to learn more about how these products are used, why they make wine taste better, and what alternatives are out there if you want to drink a vegan wine!
