Human beings have been crushing grapes and allowing them to ferment naturally into wine for at least 5,000 years. Unfortunately, in more recent times, to make their lives easier and to increase production, winemakers, like other farmers, have resorted to a range of industrially manufactured chemical fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides. It is usually claimed that any chemicals used in the vineyards are killed off during the fermentation process, but several recent studies have discovered potentially harmful pesticide residues in wines.

But industrial agriculture isn't only bad for us as consumers; it's bad for the earth. Chemical fertilizers and herbicides destroy the natural balance of the soil and the worms that give it life. Greener Planet wines are made using organically grown grapes. They are produced by men and women who care for their environment to be enjoyed people who care about the flavour of what they are drinking.

Greener Planet is committed to the environment beyond the vineyards. For every bottle that is sold, a contribution will be made to projects run by the charity Water Aid.
