Over the last few weeks, I have been on a rather bizarre journey. There are a few parts of our business that I have intentionally swayed away from at times. But now, with many of the aspects of our business left in my ‘very able’ hands, it’s a somewhat intimidating prospect. Mostly having to give any new wines the full respect and scrutiny that they need and deserve, but also having to create some new, hopefully exciting and most importantly accurate blog posts.
Have you noticed that wine is almost the only food product that doesn’t have a full list of ingredients on its label?
Many of us have not even considered the question before. Wine is a fermented grape juice, what could be the problem?
We have created a petition on change.org to get access to a wider audience and engage everyone in this discussion. We do not ask for money, just your opinion and feedback please.
We invite you to support our petition for a proper wine labelling legislation and join our discussion about wine ingredients and additives.
See more here about wine additives and why it is important to include them on the label.
Let me start with a question, do you remember not so many years ago when there were a few people who complained because their wine was not sealed with a cork? Oh yes indeed, I am talking about the life changing and extraordinary event that rocked the world of wine, the screw cap!
Well let me draw your attention to a slight pickle I had last week. I was feeling maybe just slightly under the weather and I knew that the recycling had to go out. Now my recycling is quite full most of the time, mainly empty wine bottles. But here I was complaining to myself about the weight of these boxes and I started to think, why is this so heavy? Then I realised, wine bottles are bulky.
Let's discuss an idea to bottle wine in P.E.T! Is it a viable solution?
