About Biodynamic Wines & Vines

---

This site was help consumers and the wine industry learn more about biodynamic wine and why this unique wine category should be on the top of your wine consideration list. 

Whether you're looking for daily drinkers or coveted collectible bottles, biodynamic producers make wines to please your palate.

• QUALITY

Why? Because no other category has consistently produced the world's best wines. (Examples: Chateau Palmer in Bordeaux, Chapoutier in the Rhone, and Domaine de Romanée Conti in Burgundy.)

• CLIMATE CHANGE

And because—thank you, Greta—climate change. 

Biodynamic wine grape growing has been shown to promote higher biodiversity (in the soil microorganisms that give wine flavor) and to return the most carbon to the soil.

• PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN WINE

But most of all, if you want to drink well, you'll want to avoid the toxic herbicides (Roundup, etc.) sprayed on vines. And yes, it does end up in the wine. 

We now have high tech mass spectrometry that shows us that conventional and sustainable wines have as much as 500-1000% more pesticide residues in them

compared to organic or biodynamically grown win. The latest science shows us these herbicides are  are linked to cancer and liver diseases.

And then there's the fungicides: bee and bird toxins, neurotoxins and more. They're in the wine, too. But only in the conventional and "sustainable" wines. You can give them the boot.

• SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY 

Aside from being "better for me," biodynamic wineries also tilt toward "better for we," taking a leading role in corporate social responsibility.

Just as LEED certification represents the high bar in eco-friendly buildings, B Corp certification is a business responsibility standard that sets the pace in business as a power for ethical and social good.

Out of 10,043 wineries in the U.S., five are certified B Corporations. Four—or 80 percent—of the U.S. B Corp wineries are...biodynamic.
