Why are some wines certified organic or biodynamic and others not?
Good question. There are several reasons why a winegrower may decide not to go for certification. For one thing there are costs involved with any certification body to cover audit charges and licence fees to use their logo. Some growers do not want to be labelled as organic for fear of alienating the vast majority of regular wine drinkers who don’t know or don’t care about organics. There are also some who are farming organically or biodynamically simply because they believe it is the right and best way and they want the quality of the wine in the bottle to speak for itself.
