Green wine?
Thursday, May 03, 2007
I'm no viticulture expert, but given that we do get some requests from a couple of our users to include moon phases in our application calendar, for instance, I was wondering about the general consensus in the community.
From what I understand, there will be more of these kinds of requests for us to include biodynamics in the winegrowing practices we support through our webware.
I know articles like this one are quite controversial, given the lack of scientific support for many of the practices that biodynamic growers adhere to, but there is a growing niche for grapes grown "in tune" with the environment. If the growth in this type of demand follows the organic market or alternative medicine trends, why would you NOT follow Mike Benzinger's example?
What do you think?

Biodynamics, like Homeopathy, is utter hogwash. That’s not to say the the wines can’t be good. Hey, the vines do get a lot of TLC.
Good idea to talk about that. Still, I don’t know what to think of this biodynamic talk. Its difficult to find good information about it. What’s the ecological reasoning behind it? What’s the link to the bottomline?
It’s alot of work.
Don't believe the skeptics! The truth is that biodynamics is a serious, ecological and ethical approach to modern farming. Search "Biodynamic agriculture" in wikipedia.
biodynamics is bunk. That's right- Total and complete BUNK. It's a scam to jack up the price of wine and to swindle consumers.
