The love of wine began as a half-price paper novel – sweet and cheap. This relationship worked very well for the initial courtship, when the taste level was on the bottom shelf and my partner’s number was yet to be determined. But that was before the tannins hit my head with my head and I made grapes without grace laugh lines turn to the foreheads.
Together 40 candles when my birthday cake is about to light up, I can definitely say that the only thing that surpasses the sound of a cork flying is the sound of a cork flying beautifully, quality the wine that doesn’t talk to me the next morning ajea attitude.

Instead of combing the parking lots of the average bottle market, I realize the benefits of a variety of well-crafted and deliciously cared-for e-corridors. Helen Wines. The Calian-based store focuses its lens on low-production natural wines and organically grown wines. (And thankfully for those of us who aren’t Los Angeles, Helen has fabulous choreography online presence.)
We were caught the gal behind the grape, Helen To learn more about Johannes, natural, organic and pet wine. Try what is so special, what a “natural wine” really is, and what drinks should be illustrated on our summer tour …
Hello Helen! What is a natural wine ball?
Fun thing natural wine in the world of wine there is no technically defined category of wine in black and white. It is defined .. but then beyond the definition as well. To put it in context, there is no wine law or certificate that can be obtained from having “natural wine”. But defining this is also very important:
Natural wine is a wine that does not add or remove anything.
Of course, within the simplicity of this assertion, there are many questions and notes. Natural wine is like über organic wine: the practice starts in the vineyard, no herbicides or pesticides are used, composting and biodynamic farming techniques are often used. The energy is focused on the expression of the soil and location of the vineyard site and the integration of the vineyards with the surrounding nature. All grapes are harvested by hand, sorted by hand and then fermented and aged with little intervention without the use of chemicals, sulfur or other stabilizers.
Natural wine is mostly unfiltered and fine and most of the time there is no added sulfur in the packaging, however, it is left between the weather and the harvest. Natural wine is a small and site-specific production made by real artists and farmers.

And how about organic wine?
Organic wine there can be many things. You can have a wine that is produced in an ecologically certified but then very poorly treated winery. Don’t get me wrong: organic farming is very important to me, it doesn’t need to be organic certified, but practice shows a desire to let nature go its own way, instead of removing life and minerals that can make wine so delicious and exciting. Ecological labeling is mainly related to agricultural activities; so it is important to understand how the grapes are treated and how the wine leaves the vine after leaving the vineyard.
We see that you also sell biodynamic and vegan wines … Tell us!
Biodynamic agriculture is a set of philosophical principles about 365-degree agriculture developed by Rudolph Steiner in the 1920s. In addition to the biodynamic winemaker certifications today, many other winemakers and others use certain practices depending on their beliefs, resources, and the country in which the wine is being made. Biodynamics it is the ideology of cultivation along with the cycles of the moon through the constellations, it informs through its calendar when certain things need to be done so that everything is aligned. Compost is used a lot and the special teas and practices that come with it!
Just like any other ardo vegana, most dope wines are vegan. The reason for calling it vegetarian wine is because a lot of the commercial wine and pulp produced is not vegetarian, as it can be used in the process of internalization by various animal entrails.

We are just starting out in the world of Pét-nat. Can you explain what these wines are?
A pét-nat is a street name, also a nickname, with a nice abbreviated name for a French wine term: natural sparkling. It refers to a specific style / technique for making sparkling wine. It has other names in other countries, but the US has taken pét-nat for certain wines made in this way. Champagne is a sparkling wine that is a fermented wine that undergoes complete fermentation (to obtain alcohol and then bubbles) and undergoes a very controlled process; a pet has between 1.5 and 1.75 fermentations and the process of getting boobies is much colder.
Basically, a basic wine is fermented to convert the sugar into alcohol and then the wine is bottled before the first fermentation is completed and the second fermentation is done in the bottle. The wines are usually sealed with a crowned stopper, unfiltered and fine, and cooled slightly until it is time to remove the top.
Usually the bubbles are smoother and less sour, the wines can bear more fruit due to the persistent residual sugar: they are fun, fantastic and ready to party.
Not all pet animals taste the same and are made up of vines depending on the grower and the region!
What are the benefits of buying natural, organic, pet, biodynamic and vegan wines?
The most notable addition is that avoiding agricultural products that have caused you to use a lot of chemicals is generally better for your health.
Often commercial wine contains excessive amounts of sulfur and sugar, which is why the wine makes you feel the next day. Natural wine makes you feel great! Plus, you’re tasting the true expression of a specific place in the world that is so transporting.

Do natural and organic wines reduce hangovers? If so, why? What about biodynamic wines?
Any wine that is made with less intervention has added fewer chemicals or sugar … so yes! The results would be less likely to hang. It is alcohol, so it still depends on what you drink.
On the plus side there is a lot of natural wine with less alcohol and therefore sugar. I don’t mean to say it’s good for you, but it’s better to have a lot of shit out there!
You also sell sparkling wines in Helen. What are these?
Sparkling The Italian term is a slightly sparkling wine, similar to the pét-nat idea – a very similar process, in fact! Sometimes the wines are unintentionally curled and not curly … It is unexpected because the wine is fermenting in the bottle again. It’s fresh and very easy, but it can also catch people. Sparkling wines sometimes have less bubble definition than animal pets, which means there is less residual sugar in the bottle at the time the wine continues to ferment and get bubbles. Love the red spritzy!

What’s the difference between a sparkling wine and a real sparkling wine?
Sparkling wine is like a sparkling wine … it’s kind of. Basically sparkling wine can be made in two methods: Methodology Ancestors (pets, sparkling wine, etc.) and the traditional method (champagne, incinerators, etc.) There are many techniques that separate these two processes, but both can produce excellent wines.
