A study about benefits of Ecologic wine by the University of Burgundy and the Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland.

A study at the University of Burgundy and the Institute of Organic Agriculture in Switzerland shows that wine - producing pesticide-free organic - containing double the amount of resveratrol ( molecule present in grapes and wine and which are attributed anticancer and antioxidant ) than not subjected to these practices.

I remember an interview with Juan Carlos Sancha ensuring that resveratrol - molecule present in grapes and wine and attributed to anti-cancer and antioxidant properties , is a defense mechanism of the plant.

According to that study, organic red and white wine contains 12 milligrams of resveratrol per liter compared to 6 of a wine, whose grapes have been treated with pesticides and chemical fertilizers " in an abusive manner."

Sancha , who is also the winemaker by profession, has argued that organic production wines are the "most natural" and remarked "abuse of pesticides and chemical fertilizers , which have caused a significant salinization Ebro " .

According Sancha , " the wine must not give rise to scandals such " particularly by the need also to give security to the consumer that eats a healthy wine.

This researcher has also expressed caution with the use of transgenic yeasts in improving wine quality and has even described as " unfortunate " implementation.

Sancha should be understood that further research in this field " wisely" and even calls for differentiation in labeling free of genetic engineering that are not products.

(These data are from an interview with EFE ) .

This post should print wine importing companies in UK and worldwide. I would like to know what they think, and what they are doing about it.
