You’ve likely noticed labels like 有機, biodynamic, and natural (nature) popping up in bottle 商店. 以下是 a breakdown of what these terms actually mean.

1. 有機 (Bio) 葡萄酒

Made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers.

• Rules: Must be certified by governing bodies (like USDA 有機 or EU Euro Leaf). Certain 葡萄酒 additives, including sulfites (preservatives), are allowed in limited amounts during winemaking.

2. Biodynamic 葡萄酒

An holistic form of 有機 farming based on Rudolf Steiner’s theories. It aligns vineyard tasks with lunar cycles and uses special compost preparations to boost soil biodiversity.

3. Natural (Nature) 葡萄酒

An unregulated term for wines made with “minimal intervention.” Grapes are farmed organically, fermented with native wild yeasts, and bottled unfiltered with zero or minimal added sulfites.
