It is said that the individual can make a difference, and by many people making small changes, great change can happen. Perhaps one of the most effective methods of bringing about social and environmental change that is open to us, as consumers, is by ‘voting with our wallets’. The wine industry is no exception to this rule.
 

Many ‘mass market wines’, as well as being rather bland and low quality, are produced using unethical techniques – such as heavy pesticide use.
 

The guys at wines unfurled (www.winesunfurled.com) don’t believe in such practices. They are experts in the field of ethical wines, and only sell ‘real wine’
 

The producers that winesunfurled.com use practice sustainable vitivulture in their vineyards, and all winesunfurled.com packaging is 100% recyclable. Add to this the fact that these guys use shipping methods that are as efficient as possible (rather than air freight), and this makes winesunfurled a market leader in ethical wine sales.
 

Wines unfurled does not stop here however, they passionately hunt down wines from a diverse range of countries and producers in an attempt to stem the tendency towards the ‘dumbing down’ of wine varieties that is being caused by mass produced factory wines.
 

So, next time you look to buy wine online, maybe avoid the well known supermarket websites, and instead buy from a website that specializes in ‘real’ wines. Not only will you get a far superior bottle, but you can actually feel good about the fact that you are supporting an ethical wine company, and also helping to keep the smaller, ‘real’ vineyards alive and well.
