I love the sustainability trend in wine. One of those great situations where the quality can be improved by doing the right thing. It’s challenging that different countries have different definitions of things like “organic”, but it’s still positive that there are more and more organic and biodynamic options.

Thank you so much for this video Julien. "Green" wine makes so much sense it's hard to imagine anyone disagreeing. I've been exploring quite a lot of low intervention wine in the past couple of years and it has been a revelation. Many producers that adopt organic/low intervention methods are really passionate about their wines and I've really enjoyed discovering great wines from small producers and the prices are good too. It's not just wine either. My favourite olive oil comes from a superb producer in Almeria - In the Tabernas desert. It's probably the driest spot in Europe but by adopting a healthy and holistic business model they are making stunning olive oil which is showered with international awards. I also enjoy the organic oil made in the Subetica region of Cordoba that is also equally revered. Andalucia is drying up badly but these are two examples of producers working with nature and environment and producing great quality. A really excellent video. I also appreciate that a veteran of the wine trade, such as yourself, can acknowledge the benefits and I enjoyed all the chapter descriptions. When the 'Green Revolution' took place all those decades ago it it bought billions of people out of food poverty in a short time. We are now aware of the environmental cost of that transition but we also know how to do things better for produce and the environment. Do we really want to drink wine that has had chemicals poured all over the grapes and soaked into the soil? I remember reading Olivier Humbrecht telling us "shit in, shit out" and he is bottling Grand Cru organic wine. WT

he couldn't bring himself to taste the green wine lol..Can't blame him I guess
