If you’re looking to green up your New Year’s celebration with some eco-friendly bubbly, the selection is still pretty slim. Not many in viticulture (growing grapes for wine) have jumped on the eco-bandwagon. But there are a few lines out there that might be worth a shot. Look for these options at your local wine shop:
1) Dom. de Montbourgeau Cremant du Jura – $21.99 Hand-harvested grapes come from an eight-hectare farm run by the founder’s granddaughter.
2) Avinyo Cava Rosado - $25.99 Four small organic farms supply the winery; the winemaker consults a 300-year-old book for farming tips.
3) Foreau Vouvray Brut – $26.99 12-hectare farm managed organically; yields intentionally held down to privilege quality over quantity.
4) François Pinon Vouvray Petillant Brut - $20.99 Supplied by 14 hectares of organically managed land, with a variety of microclimates and soil types.
