Organic wine Germany

German organic wines

The external conditions for organic viticulture in Germany are less favorable than in southern Europe due to the wetter climate and sometimes shorter summers. The German wine-growing regions lie between 47° and 50° north latitude. This is comparable to the French wine-growing regions of Alsace, Champagne, Chablis and Burgundy, as well as the wine-growing regions along the Loire from east to west.

 

 

Organic winemakers in these regions west of the Rhine therefore have to contend with similar problems as their colleagues in Germany. The difference may be that the average harvest volume for quality wines in Germany is not only legally but also in practice at almost 100 hl/ha. This can lead to higher levels of fungal disease in the vines and consequently to greater losses and reduced quality of the wines. This may be the reason why in Germany there are almost only so-called quality wines (QbA) and no longer country wines, which are located below quality wines in the quality hierarchy.

Of course, there are winemakers on both sides of the Rhine, especially organic winemakers, who voluntarily go below the harvest limit in order to produce better wines.

As a rule, organic viticulture in southern Europe is less susceptible to fungal attack on the vines. On the other hand, extreme heat and drought cause problems.

However, there may also be other reasons why there is relatively little organic wine production in Germany. Is it the general negative mood towards the organic and environmental movement, towards something that people have no idea about and don't want to deal with. In addition, organic wines cost a little more than conventional ones. And where do we Germans find it easier to save money than on food and drink?

Politics also contributes to discrediting organic winegrowing, as Christine Schneider (EPP), CDU member and EU representative for Rhineland-Palatinate, explained on January 17, 2023 at the Palatinate Viticulture Day in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. "The EU Commission's plans to ban the use of plant protection products in certain protected areas are off the table for the time being. Instead, it is now proposed to allow plant protection, and thus widespread viticulture, in the sensitive areas - but only certified organically. The conventional one This would threaten the end of viticulture. Schneider therefore called on producers to stick together. (Source: Weinwirtschaft)

Our question is, would this be a loss, for whom?

Isn't it organic viticulture that threatens the wine industry in Germany? There are other reasons for this, as a small wine grower recently told me who cleared his 7,500 square meter vineyard and no longer wanted to replant it. It was the end of February on a tour of the vineyards on the Baden Bergstrasse. He delivered 7,800 kg of grapes (5,850 l of wine) to the cooperative last fall and received €2,300 (0.39/liter) for it in February. The sprays used in the vineyard would have cost €1,800. It's not worth working for. In this way, small, idyllic and isolated vineyards are lost that could be cultivated artisanally and organically and produce excellent wines. It is the cooperatives and wineries that are also under financial pressure and do not dare to charge appropriate prices for their wines. In this way, they force small wine growers to give up. Part-time winemakers are out of business and not the organic winemakers.

Does it actually make sense to transport German organic wines from the winery on pallets to the German retailer and from there in packages to the end consumer? Couldn't you avoid transport from the winery to the dealer? We try to do this as much as possible with the German organic wineries Sander in Mettenheim, Abril vom Kaiserstuhl and Mohr in Lorch in the Rheingau.

Our customers receive their wines either directly from us or delivered directly from the winery on our behalf. This solution also makes sense from a logistical and ecological perspective as it eliminates the need for transport from the wineries to our warehouse.
