Is getting organic wine delivered to your door with the rest of your organic food is a dream or reality?

Getting organic wine is hard, because many local bottle shops do not carry any range of organic wines let alone organic food retailers.

I just wonder where all this organic wines are sold at?

Well, I got the chance to speak with few of winemakers at the organic expo, and I have asked them this exact question, most of them almost had the same answer: ”direct!”

70% of Australian organic wines are sold directly to consumers. This is a large percentage comparing it with the European and the US wine market.

However, this does not come without its limitations. Organic wine is expensive and one of the main reasons is the limited supply of organic wines and wineries in Australia.

One winery is reported that they sold all their wines each year via their wine club and newsletters. They did not have enough wine to supply all of their customers and each year their customers are increasingly buying more than what they can produce.

Is a good problem to have? For business is great, for wine lovers it’s a deferent story!

Unlike their counterparts, conventional wines, they find it harder and harder to sell their wines, because of the continued growth of wineries and the ever increasing of competition. Maybe it’s about time they consider adopting the organic way.

And I thought organic food was hard to get!

I would love to see an organic food retailer with a liquor license. This would make life so much easier. But finding organic food in Sydney that has a delivery service and a liquor license is almost impossible, because of the cost of the license it self.

I buy my organic food online from one company, and my organic wine from a deferent company!

I have also asked this question to a number of organic food home delivery companies and their answer was: “we do not have a liquor license!”

How hard would it be to get a liquor license? Well, I don’t personally know, I just drink it. But wouldn’t be good to be able to buy your weekly shopping and have it delivered with your favorite Shiraz or Rose. Only time will tell.

Let’s hope in the next couple of years, the organic food industry will expand to include a larger verity of products including Alcoholic beverages like wine and beer, like most of the European countries.

In the mean time, get on that wine list, and buy it direct like “almost” everyone else.

Any thought and ideas, please let me know. I would really love to hear from wineries or you if you do buy your wine direct.
