The impressive growth in the production and consumption of organic wine has transformed it from a niche product to a readily available consumer product with an ever-increasing market share. Organic wine is no longer the obscure choice of hippies and hobby farmers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did organic wine catapult to the top of the wine industry? We discuss six factors that have led to the rise in organic wine\u2019s popularity.\u00a0<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h5><b>1. The consumer market is demanding organic products<\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organic is a term that is generally recognized and understood by consumers. This strong awareness of the term resonates with wine drinkers who know that organic wine is healthier than conventional wine. Consumers appreciate the great taste of organic wine, too, and its other qualities, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Only natural farming methods are used<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No or low sulfites added<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No chemical additives are used to change the flavor, texture, taste, or aroma\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h5><b>2.

Wines made by farmers who treat the Earth with respect and create a quality product are appealing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some consumers are making the switch to organic, natural, and biodynamic wines because they care about sustainability, the health of the planet, and the lives of those who harvest the grapes on vineyards.\u00a0 Workers at conventional vineyards that use pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides may be at risk for health problems. People are becoming more conscious about the origin of the wine they are drinking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5><b>3. Organic wine growers are dedicated to growing a larger market<\/b><b><\/b><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the past 40 years, there has been a steady increase in the number of talented winemakers seeking organically grown grapes.
