Ecologically Friendly Booze ?

I don't know if you have noticed over the past few years, but a lot of vineyards, distilleries, and breweries have been releasing organic and ecologically friendly booze. I happen to be a fan of organic and locally grown crops, as well as sustainable agriculture. It's important to me to know where my food comes from and how it is made. I'm not obsessive about it, but it is a big consideration in what I purchase. Almost as big as my wallet, which isn't always as large as I would like.

You are now going to see a lot more organic alcoholic beverages available. Restaurants, bars, and liquor stores will be pushing them out to follow in the organic wave that is changing what we grow, buy, and eat. Right now there are only a few wines and spirits that are certified organic, but this is more a matter of paperwork and the certification process. Worldwide, many producers use mainly organic ingredients but haven't applied for the USDA certification due to legal issues, the difficulty in finding 100% fully organic ingredients, and cost. Expect this to change rapidly as producers discover that soon the public will buy all the organic wine, beer, and spirits they can produce. I have already tried a few organic products and eagerly look forward to trying and reviewing more such as the tasty Juniper Green Gin, Highland Harvest Organic Grain Whiskey made in the UK, the mostly organic Bluecoat Gin made in PA, as well as many of the organic rums, whiskeys, beer, and cider available today.
