'Perfect for people who want to learn about organic and biodynamic
wines, and their ultra-orthodox relatives, natural wines... I
really enjoyed the book and I would recommend it to every wine
lover who wants to understand what is going on in the
vineyard.'
-- Robert Anding, Wine-Searcher
'Full of quite absorbing detail that made it interesting for me to
dip in and out of as chapters caught my attention... fascinating
chapters like a really detailed glossary of what additives are
allowed in wine, or natural means of controlling vineyard pests,
make for really interesting reading for both winemakers and wine
lovers alike.'
-- Tom Cannavan, Wine-Pages.com
'This is a sound overview of the arguments for and against
biodynamic, organic and natural winemaking... compiled into a
glossy presentation with plenty of relevant photography.'
-- Paul O'Doherty, JancisRobinson.com
'As environmental issues and sustainability becomes increasingly a
concern for the consumer this books gives the reader the facts
about all these wine growing and winemaking trends, methods and
labels... In contrast to many other books on this subject the
authors do not try to convince the reader these methods are the
salvation for viticulture. Instead, the authors explain the
background and the facts and go through the rules and regulations
for what organic wine is so that the reader, the wine consumer,
then can make informed personal choices.'
-- Wijn Wijs
'An eminent book on organic viticulture and winemaking.'
--Vinkompassen
'The book is clearly written and organized and lavishly illustrated
with color photos that are both beautiful and informative. I
learned something new in every chapter, but I was especially
interested in the biodynamics section. The combination of thorough
research and personal interviews with growers and winemakers made
this material come alive for me... This is a fine book and worth
your attention.'
-- Mike Veseth, The Wine Economist
'This well illustrated book about different styles of wines is
timely, as millions of environmentally responsible consumers are
starting to look for products les manipulated during production --
be it wine or food, or anything consumable... This is definitely a
very valuable book for every wine enthusiast, regular wine drinker
and winemakers. Highly recommended.'
-- Hrayr Berberoglu, Winesworld's magazine
'In short, there has not previously been such a thorough and
clearly written book on this subject. I recommend it to anyone who
wants to get an understanding of organic and sustainable wine
production and what the steps are in that direction.'
--John Bindels, chief editor national website for wine consumers
