A Vegan Diet
More and more “vegan” sections are appearing on supermarket shelves, and there is more and more choice of animal-derivative-free products in stores and restaurants.The world of vegan food and wine is beginning to gather growing support and acclaim nationally and internationally.
In the process of purchasing did you happen to ask yourself why you should choose a vegan wine?
There you have it, three aspects you should consider: from the vineyard, to the winery, to the table.
1. In the vineyard we respect the land so as to preserve soil biodiversity.
A vegan wine that respects the environment and animals has an added value. Everything is green and without animal products from the fertilization stage to the making of the final packaging. The vines are worked in full respect of the soil: to obtain healthy and quality grapes, it is very important to preserve the soil so as to promote the proliferation of microorganisms that make the soil fertile and the plant healthy and strong, preserving it from diseases. No polluting plant protection products are used so as not to contaminate the environment and “affect” the physical structure of the vine itself. Organic vineyards are constantly monitored by specialized agronomists and the development of the plant according to its natural cycle is guaranteed.
2. At the winery, vegan principles are adhered to throughout the production of the product.
Clarifying agents used in winemaking may contain substances derived from casein or albumin, derivatives of milk and eggs, respectively. These components for vegan wines are replaced by yeasts of plant origin. In addition, the wine is refrigerated in order to activate the stabilization process, which is the natural gravitational settling of the small particles that make the wine cloudy. A total absence of substances of animal origin in all wine vessels and in the materials used in the production of the final product allows the achievement of Vegan certification.
3. Good value for healthy wine.
Although care and attention are much higher in a vegan wine than in a conventional wine, prices are kept low. A wine that is affordable and at the same time good because it is rich in natural aromas given by vigorous, natural grapes is a healthier, digestible product and above all… does not cause headaches!
In short, buying a vegan wine is a choice not only for those who follow the vegan diet but also for those who like to respect the land and animals.
