As you say, it is confusing and a charter than unifies all the different rules for making organic wine can't come soon enough. Any idea of a date for realising the Orwine project? I guess these things take time!Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922795081368708574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623083145078615960.post-44766155927445736122009-02-05T09:35:00.000+01:002009-02-05T09:35:00.000+01:00Hi,I work for Millésime Bio, and I thank you for y...Hi,<BR/>I work for Millésime Bio, and I thank you for your post.<BR/>But I would like to make corrections to some things you wrote about the certification of organic wine (I must admit it's complicated and confusing!)<BR/><BR/>1st, AIAB is the Italian Federation of Organic Agriculture, not a certificator of organic wine. <BR/><BR/>2nd, Biodyvin and Demeter are for vines grown according to biodynamics agriculture. <BR/>FNIVAB is one of the associations of producers who make wine according to their charter (less SO2 than allowed by the law... and such things, so that not only the grapes are organic, but the wine may be considered organic too). There are a few of this charters, and the European Orwine project is currently working on the unification of those charters, so that wine producers in Europe finally implement the same rules to make organic wine.<BR/>Orwine is headed and coordinated by the AIAB.<BR/><BR/>Last, the main certification companies are Ecocert, Nature et Progrès, Burau Véritas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-623083145078615960.post-17134268256668527272009-01-30T21:02:00.000+01:002009-01-30T21:02:00.000+01:00Very informative...Very informative...Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851630568558694769noreply@blogger.com
