My Deep Dive into the True World of Wine

In this podcast episode, I take a comprehensive look into the complex world of wine, discussing the stark contrast between 'dead' and 'living' wines as well as the distinctions between commercial and natural types. I emphasize the importance of understanding what wine labels truly tell us, the role and impact of additives and sulfites in wine, and the misleading practices prevalent in the wine industry. I highlight the environmental and health impacts of conventional wine production, such as pesticide use and GMOs. I delve into the merits of dry farming and the advantages of natural winemaking, advocating for support of small, genuine wine producers for a cleaner, more eco-friendly wine experience. Furthermore, I uncover the lack of transparency in wine labeling, shedding light on hidden additives and procedures that can influence wine quality and consumer well-being. The episode wraps up with me urging listeners to make informed wine selections, highlighting the distinct and natural qualities of wines produced authentically.
