Drink Organic Wine

I didn’t know I could drink wine without getting a headache!

I have always loved wine, and as an Italian, it was present at every family celebration.  However, after just one glass, I could feel the headache coming on and by the next morning I would feel terrible.  I always thought that I was allergic to wine – which was a hard pill to swallow.  Little did I know, it was just the additives present in almost all wine that were the culprit. 

For a while, I consumed NO alcohol,in any form, because I didn’t like how I felt after I drank. Headaches, fatigue, stomach upset, and, you know, that overall feeling of “grossness” that comes with a hangover.
However, I missed wine, and still wanting to have my “cake” and eat it too, I started trying several organic and clean wines.  I thought this was a healthy option.

Unfortunately, I learned that just because a wine is made with organic grapes, it still usually has chemicals added in during fermentation and bottling.

What I’ve found is that there really is good, clean wine out there.  Wine that won’t leave you with headaches or migraines.  Wine that won’t leave you with a hangover and upset stomach!  But it can be tough to figure out where to even begin to look for clean wine, especially since wine doesn’t have an ingredient label!

I recently learned about Scout & Cellar clean-crafted wine and am more than a little excited about it!  You might be wondering what “clean-crafted” really means and if it’s truly possible for good wine to be grown and produced without all the usual chemicals.
 

Here are just a few reasons why I love Scout & Cellar Clean-Crafted Wine so much and why I think you will too.

Scout & Cellar wines are:
 

• Naturally grown with NO synthetic pesticides (because good grapes don’t need them!)
• Tended and harvested by actual people – not mass produced by industrial agricultural methods
• Sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic farming methods, that actually rejuvenate the top soil rather than ravaging it.
• Extremely delicious and always distinctive year after year, like nature intended (each wine is chosen by a third level sommelier).
• ZERO added chemicals
• Low sulfites (most < 50ppm all must have < 100ppm.  As a point of reference, the FDA allows up to 350ppm.)
• Each batch is third-party independent lab tested – TWICE!
• ZERO grams of added sugar
