Organic Is Not Just Reserved for Produce

Buying "green" wine is another way to promote an environmentally-conscious lifestyle. In order to be listed as organic in the organic wine database, no pesticides can be used and sustainable farming (rotating crops and using recuperative grasses to revive the soil) is strongly encouraged. Some wineries that are making a conscious efforts toward going green are:
Grgich Hills (California)
Bonterra Vineyards (California)
Frog's Leap (California)
The Organic Wine Company - Key importer of Organic French Wines
Frey Vineyards(California)
Organic Vintners - Importers of internationally produced Organic Wines
Ceago Vinegarden (California)
Robert Sinskey Vineyards (California)
Summerhill Pyramid Winery (Canada)
Robinvale Organic Wines (Australia)
Richmond Plains (New Zealand)
Kawarau Estate (New Zealand)
Robinvale Organic Wines and Temple Bruer Winery (Australia)
Nuova Cappelletta (Italy)
Badger Mountain Vineyard (Washington)
Snoqualmie Wines
Lolonis (Redwood Valley, California)
Sokol Blosser (Oregon)
Bodega Hermanos Delgado (Spain)

To do our part, we can reuse plastic and paper bags used to buy wine, recycle glass bottles and use real wine glasses, instead of paper or plastic for parties.
