Go Green with your Wine Choices this Holiday Season
During the holidays a lot of us tip the glass and drink up for health and a new year, but we should all be tipping the glass for the environment as well. Here a few things to look for on the label on that great wine that are green and will allow you to tip the glass without the eco-guilt.
1. “USDA Organic”: What this means is the wine is made with 100% organic grapes. Nothing has been added. Also contains no sulfites as well.
2. “Organic”: What this means is the grapes used to make wine are 100% organic and grown without the use of pesticides and other chemicals. These wine sometimes contain sulfites.
3. “Salmon Safe”: What this means is no wildlife was harmed in the making of the wine and the wine has been certified by the Oregon-based Salmon Safe certification program and every effort has been done to make salmon safe in the Pacific Northwest.
