Meer dan bio: wat Slow Wein maakt
Thomas Büscher van de Wein-Kommission Slow Food Deutschland legt uit wat Slow Wein toevoegt aan een biokeurmerk: strengere teelt (onder meer Handlese), restricties in de kelder, en vast contact met Slow Food-convivia en -restaurants. Nog een handvol huizen draagt de rode slak. Op 10 december volgt een online proeverij bij Terra Madre Tag. Bron: Slow Food Deutschland, 9 november 2026.

More than organic: what Slow Wine means
Thomas Büscher of the Slow Food Deutschland wine commission explains what Slow Wine adds beyond an organic seal: stricter vineyard rules (including hand harvest), tighter cellar limits, and institutional contact with Slow Food groups and restaurants. Only a handful of estates carry the red snail so far. On 10 December an online tasting marks Terra Madre Day. Source: Slow Food Deutschland, 9 November 2026.
