WAGS goes organic
U3A member Alan Hunton gave an excellent talk on organic wines as he presented five examples (two whites and three reds) to the Wednesday WAGS group meeting at L’Escut restaurant. Alan revealed that Spain produces more hectares of organic wine than any other country in the world, exporting more than 85% of it.
He explained that organic wine production was regulated by the European Union and, because of the absence of pesticides, was believed to have both environmental and health benefits.
Alan was applauded by his audience and thanked by group leader Trevor Rush.
