How Wine is Made: The Good, the Bad, the “Natty‪”‬ Wine Face

I support and love all kinds of wine, but I think it helps people to understand wine as an agricultural product if we start with what is and is not considered a “Natural” wine. Listen, I really don’t like labels, but we gotta break it down before we build it back up! Winemaking dates back thousands and thousands of years but it’s since been industrialized as technology and society-advanced. As an unregulated product, mass-produced wine can have some questionable additives, animal by-products, and absurd amounts of sugar without any indication or notification on the label. But not all wine is created equal. Let’s do a “Deep Dive” episode on what a natural or “natty” wine really is, what are the exceptions, and what are my rules and best practices on how to order and shop for wine.
