If you drink US wine ... might want to watch this.

Pretty unusual to use Glyphosate on vines, at least on vines you want to live.

actually pretty typical for a lot of crops, at least around here, before leaf out.

The anti-foaming agents were a surprise to me.

We've never used anti-foaming agents since we're so small scale, but Google tells me the addition is about one drop per gallon.

22 minutes all to say "Don't drink shitty wine".

This place looks like a good one to checkout if I was ever in your area. Expensive, but looks like they make good wine. Ever try their stuff?

Anything that requires an acquired taste is odd to me. I didn't need to acquire a taste for beer, brisket, or Reese's peanut butter cups, and they make me very happy

It's used heavily in the vine row. I'm willing to bet there are detectable levels in almost any wine that isn't Live, Organic, or biodynamic certified. But it's ppb. I'm sure we could detect it in beer or whisky too if we looked.

And I'm sure the ethanol that is in parts per hundred will give you cancer first.

Lots of good wine out there, just gotta spend a few more dollars.

In the row is a bit different than on 'the vines'.

The vine gets hit. Nothing green, but the trunk is sprayed.

The roots take it up.

The video is sort of hyperbolic, but it's hyperbolic about the majority of the claims.

It's good. I know the winemaker pretty well.

Biodynamic is shaman mysticism BS, but it sometimes yields good results.

The older I get, the less I enjoy the day after drinking beer. Wine doesn't do that to me. It's an acquired taste, but I definitely prefer it now. Plus, it's the only alcohol you can say is "healthy".

I’m the exact opposite. I wake up after drinking wine and I feel like a skid row hustler.

It started in Greece, drink 1-2 bottles a day, starting in the AM, walk a lot, swim a lot, eat a lot. Never felt bad. #*^@#* it was great. Lost 5 lbs in 7 days, literally eating and drinking as much as I could.

Hey Laszlo sounds like you make it? Grow it? What's the label/s?

No label. Just for funsies. I work industry adjacent. I can always get a few bottles if you're passing through though.

I’ll take no rules over France any day

Although, men in France have life expectancy of 79.4 years of living under all those ag rules. USA males...75.8 years of freedom which may be worth seeing 3 fewer Christmases with the grandkids. Cheers!

Beer at age 13 (snuck from fridge of a buddiy's old man) was definitely an acquired taste for me as was black coffee at age 4 (my family owned a breakfast joint). Canadian Mist at 14 (New Years was crazy that winter). Cigarettes at 15 (older brother smoked). Chaw at 17 (baseball and farmer thing).

I concur 100% on the brisket and peanut butter cups. I no longer drink booze (other than celebration toasts once or twice a year) or smoke or chew. Turns out most of the acquired tastes were better off not acquired, in my case. I have zero issue being around drinkers (unless are mean drunks or get sloppy), smokers (as long are outside) or chewers. Diversity makes life more interesting.
