What you need to know: Domaine de la Grande Bellane Organic Côtes du Rhône Villages 2006

Tags: organic
We like:
The Ecocert certification
We don't like:
The dominating spirity smell and flavour
SmartPlanet judgement:
Although wine expert Chris Stroud did eventually get some flavours out of this wine -- and liked it -- we could practically only taste the alcohol. There isn't a lot of information about the vineyard it comes from, but we like the sound of its biodynamic methods and its Ecocert certification. We'd happily try out other vintages from this wine-maker.

Waitrose Italian Organic Bianco Moncaro 2007 Marche
It's an inoffensive, good, Italian white wine with the distinct green advantage that the grapes have been grown organically
ASDA Organics La Mancha Blanco 2006
It's not all that good on its own, but would be fine if mixed with something sweet. We like its organic certification, but aren't too pleased with ASDA's poor ethical performance
Marks & Spencer Organic Botteghino Chianti
It's nothing outrageously special, but it's tasty and it's made from organic grapes
