Do you crave wine, but haven’t been able to have it due to Crohn’s or Colitis? We are happy to announce that we found the BEST wine out there on the market that not only is paleo, organic, and all-natural, but will not cause gut problems, unlike other alcohol products that can actually cause symptoms, flares, and long-term damage due to the ingredients!

Let us at Crohn’s & Colitis Lifestyle tell you all about this awesome wine! 🙂

Wine through the centuries

Wine is not only enjoyable for many but has been a daily part of people’s lives for centuries with its aromatic scents and lovely tastes! The swirling, sniffing and overall flavor it brings to our senses add to the experience.

This is why wine has been a love of many through the centuries.

Wine through the centuries:

“Wine has been around since at least the Paleolithic time period. Evidence from that era shows that it was used for medicinal and health purposes as well as for enjoyment.”
(Scientific American)

“Even though alcohol is known to be toxic, many scientific studies actually correlate drinking wine with improved health. There are studies (see below) that correlate wine and improved heart health, a lower risk for diabetes, stress reduction, and a longer life. A lot more research is needed to validate these findings, but there is no question that there is something about wine that is good for us.”
(National Center for Biotechnology Information (NIH), Time, Medical News Today, The Independent, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, National Center for Biotechnology Information)

Why Wine can cause gut issues

So then why do we feel sick often when we drink it? Let’s break down different aspects of wine! 🙂

Take a look at Labeling & Transparency about Wine:

  1. Because wine is taxed as alcohol, not food, the government doesn’t require
    producers to disclose ingredients. The one exception is sulfites, and that labeling doesn’t mean much, because virtually every wine in the world contains some
    amount of sulfites (they are naturally occurring in wine).

  2. Unlike other foods and beverages in the US, wine bottles do not require a nutrition label or an ingredients label. This is because wine labeling falls under the authority of the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) rather than the FDA. (USA Today).

  3. According to the TTB, for wines above 14% ABV, the actual alcohol percentage can be 1% greater or lower than stated on the label. For wines at 14% ABV or below, there is a 1.5% variance allowed on the label. (TTB).

Farming Facts

  • The amount of pesticides sprayed on vines has grown substantially in the last 50 years. Many of these chemical pesticides and herbicides, like the widely-used Glyphosate, have been shown to disrupt plant nutrient availability and harm other microorganisms living in the soil and surrounding areas. (NBCI, European Journal of Agronomy, Uncorked)

  • Organic and biodynamic wineries believe in natural farming and sustainability. Per the
    USDA, for organic wine, its “grapes are grown without synthetic fertilizers and in a
    a manner that protects the environment and preserves the soil.”(USDA, UpscapeTravel)

  • In 2017, there were 7.6 million hectares of vineyards worldwide, with only 400
    thousand hectares farmed organically (about 5%). (Wine Industry Advisor, Statista)

  • In one study, organic farming produced a 12% increase in total biodiversity by increasing plant and insect diversity. (Organic Research Centre)

Prima Foodie wrote a beautiful excerpt on why we should be careful when selecting a wine:

https://www.primafoodie.com/home/why-we-need-to-be-thinking-about-whats-in-our-wine

“In the US, the FDA approves of 76 additives for wine. These include artificial dyes, genetically modified yeast, and various animal byproducts like isinglass (dried fish bladders that are used as a filtering agent), and casein.

(Not to mention, adding sugar to wine is widespread in the commercial industry.) For people who drink wine regularly, these chemicals can build up in the body, potentially causing harm. Some researchers in the field have begun measuring the amounts of glyphosate in wine. Other experts link the common wine hangover to all the junk allowed in the juice.

What this all reveals is a critical missing piece: transparency in labeling. Currently, the only ingredient mandated to appear on a wine label in the US has added sulfites. This means all the extras—the thickeners, the dyes, the flavor manipulators—get swallowed without an inkling. If we knew our ’97 Napa pinot had a hint of PVPP, an artificially made plastic substance, we’d likely pass.”

The benefits of Dry Wine Farms

 

As the world’s premier low alcohol, Natural Wine source, Dry Farm Wines finds wines made from organically grown grapes and lab tests them to meet their strict criteria.

One of these criteria is alcohol. All wines must be below 12.5% alc/vol, with many below 11.5%. This is because a glass of 11% alcohol wine is very different from a glass of 16% alcohol wine. By giving your liver time to process, lower alcohol also provides the benefits of alcohol while reducing the downsides of higher alcohol consumption.

But, the wines are more than just lower alcohol. Each wine is vetted to meet rigorous standards, including:

 

  • No sugar (0-0.15g per glass)
  • Lower sulfites (less than 75 parts per million)
  • Only organically grown grapes
  • No industrial additives like thickeners or dyes
  • All native yeast fermented
  • No irrigation

 

Dry Farm Wines works exclusively with small family farmers to offer a pure Natural Wine experience grown the way nature intended.

This experience allows you to take pleasure in wine daily and enjoy the benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. Many cultures around the world uncork wine casually every night, alongside delicious food and in the company of friends and loved ones.

 

Sourcing Natural Wines from small family farms, predominantly in Europe, Dry Farm Wines has a strong mission: to share wines that are truly a higher quality product. They’ve identified natural farming and winemaking protocols that yield pure, beautiful wines.

 

Every Dry Farm wine must be:

  • Farmed organically or biodynamically
  • Dry farmed (without irrigation)
  • Industrial additive free
  • Fermented with native wild yeast only
  • Produced in small batches

 

Dry Farm Wines is the only wine merchant with strict purity quantifications. Every one of their wines is lab tested by an independent certified enologist to be:

  • Free of sugar and carbs (0-0.15g per glass)
  • Lower in sulfites (less than 75 ppm)
  • Lower in alcohol (less than 12.5% alc/vol)

 

The result? These wines are real wines, made the traditional way. No industrial influence or added stuff.

 

ALL the wines from Dry Farm Wines meet very strict purity criteria. Their list of criteria is long, but here’s an idea:

  • Organically farmed. No pesticides, herbicides, or other harmful chemicals
  • No industrial additives. No thickeners, dyes, or taste modifiers
  • No sugar. All wines contain 0-0.15g of total sugar per glass (yes, it’s possible!)
  • Lower alcohol. All wines are less than 12.5% alcohol
  • Lower sulfites. All wines are less than 75 parts per million sulfur
  • Only wild yeasts. No lab-made or GMO yeasts
  • No irrigation. No man-made water sources; only natural rainfall

Dry Wine Farms Mission Statement

Our mission is to source pure Natural Wines with fewer toxins, made with respect for the planet. It’s important to know that most wines in retail stores and restaurants are commercially made. Many large companies produce wine on an industrial scale with high levels of sugar, additives, and alcohol. Our Natural Wines are a completely new experience. They are grown by artisan family farmers, and because we care about what we consume, they are lab tested for purity.
