Organic wines in Germany recorded growth rates of two-digit

International statistics of organic wines show Italy leading the vineyard with an area close to 30,000 hectares. About half, about 15,000 hectares each, with France and Spain. The cultivation of organic wine, which is just across Europe to 4% and in Germany is estimated at only 2% of world production of wine , is recording some years growth rates of two digits in this country. Ecologically cultivated in Germany, there are around 2000 hectares of vineyards. About 80% of the more than 400 companies are organized as national ecological associations Ecovin, Bioland, Naturland or Demeter. 15 organic vineyards, which cover an area of 260 hectares, are members of the German Association of Quality Wine (Verband Deutscher Prädikatsweingüter, VDP).

"The production of organically grown requires very special wine knowledge. Without pesticides and synthetic fertilizers requires the grower a very special treat for the vineyards, "says Martin Kössler, marketer of wines from Nuremberg. However, conditions in the wine cellar still are not regulated by any rules. But work is this: in 2009 is expected to be approved guidelines on organically grown wines. The organic wine, so far, is a wine produced from grapes growing environmentally controlled. Steffen Christmann , president of the VDP is also interested in the question on how to produce organic wines of the future. He wants to motivate his firm members with a return to nature: "To continue reaping the future of quality natural products, you must heal the soil and the vineyard." The market for organic wine is gaining increasing respect and esteem, say the experts. Trends in organic wine undeniably point towards biodynamic cultivation.

Men buy organic wine

According representative sampling carried out by TNS EMNID, Bielefeld, are mainly men who are jumping on the bandwagon of organic wine. Until now, women were the main buyers of organic products. German men are more reluctant to ecological, summarizes the study. The reason is a lack of information on organic products. But once they are informed, three quarters of them become buyers of such products. Women opt for organic wines for ethical reasons and health, men, however, about the quality. It is here that organic wines have great potential, as both production and sale of wine is still a bloke thing.

Organic wines is in great demand, also by the country

With regard to regional preferences of customers in Germany and overseas, wines of Spain are the most requested. However, they are also very popular for organic wines in their own country. Peter Riegel, industry expert and wine merchant says: "German wines, which were long in the shadow of Mediterranean wines, are increasingly popular, especially castes like typical Riesling, Weiss, and Spätburgunder Grauer." The wines drunk by the Germans are those that cost between 5 and 7 euros. Despite the good quality wines in price between 7 and 10 euros is much more difficult. But wine merchants are happy for the increase in wines over 10 euros. According to experts, the future filling these wines more and more shelves of establishments. A development which also confirms Schmücking of Jürgen BioAustria. "These wines bring a real boom in the cultivation of quality wines. Whoever wants to produce in the future wines of high quality, you cannot dispense with an organically grown wine. "
