Where to Buy Cases of Organic Vegan Wines
The Goodness Project offers many organic vegan wines, and also produces corporate gifting services.
So if you fancy sending a bespoke hamper of wine and vegan chocolates to a colleague, this is the company to order from (it also plants trees for each order, and donates each month to chose animal welfare charities).
VEO Wines is an online shop that sells organic vegan wines, and nothing else. So all the hard work of finding the best brands has been done for you by experts.
You can buy pre-mixed cases or mix your own case. Not all the wines are local, but you can filter by country to choose English wines from Oxney Estate (England’s largest organic vineyard).
How Much Wine Should We Drink?
If you like your wine a bit too much, know that NHS guidelines are per week:
- 6 glass of wine or
- 6 pints of beer or
- 14 units of spirits
So if you only drink wine – that’s one glass per night, with a day off! You’ll then at least be drinking within proper guidelines!
Different Types of Wine
There are four main types of wine: white, red (matured for longer), rosé (brief contact with grapes during fermentation) and sparkling bubbly (good for special occasions).
England can make its own wine, and has quite a few vineyards, though not all use organic methods. But overall, it’s best to choose more local wines, for less ‘wine miles’, rather than shipping from Argentina, Chile or New Zealand/Australia.
Shipping glass also creates huge carbon emissions, which is why there are now newer inventions like paper wine bottles.
Most councils collect wine bottles (wrap broken glass in thick paper and bin). If bottle banks are full, there is usually a phone number to call (don’t leave bottles outside full banks). You only need to rinse them quickly, and you can also leave on screw-top lids and labels.
