Blog Action Day '09: Climate Change

Today is Blog Action Day - a day for bloggers throughout the world to unite and wield their "blogging" power by discussing one topic important to everyone. And this year that topic is Climate Change.

So while this blog is all about sangria, I'm here to tell you how we sangria-fans can make a difference in the world and have a positive impact on global climate change. And the one very simple thing we can do? Drink organic wines! More specifically, drink "biodynamic" wines.

"Organic" wines are made from 100% organically grown ingredients and carries the USDA's organic seal. They contain only naturally occurring sulfites. As the article Salute Organic Wines on The Daily Green website explains, "Biodynamic" wines go beyond organic:

Biodynamic is based on the precise observation and an attempt at balance of nature, a concept originated by the early 20th-century Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner. So, biodynamic wine is not only 100% organic, in addition, the grower has gone beyond to try to bring the farming process more closely in tune with nature. For instance, biodynamic wine growers may make their own compost and/or watch the stars and planets to time what they do.

The good news? Organic wines are everywhere, even at your grocery store. And biodynamic wines are not too hard to find either. Need help coming up with some good organic wines? Check out this article on The Daily Green: 6 Good Organic Wines for Under $25.

So enjoy your sangria and save the planet at the same time by drinking organic wines!
