Soil type has long played a key role in viticulture. However, limited scientific understanding beyond type paved the way for destructive farming to the vast microbial world living within the soil.

To say that interest in the orange wine category has exploded over the last few years would be a complete understatement. But while its popularity in the U.S. may have begun as a growing trend among natural wine enthusiasts, its diverse flavors have been treasured around the world for ages.

The world of wine is a vast and marvelous place to explore, below is a list of wine in every price range to get wine drinkers of every age even more excited about wine.

There’s nothing wrong with imbibing a lil bit every now and then, but if you’re looking for a way to enjoy a glass of vino without feeling like trash the next day, then you’ve come to the right place. Whether you’re pregnant, sober, the designated driver, or not looking to get turnt on a weeknight, the best non-alcoholic wines will let ya sip pretty without having to worry about any of the negative side effects. And as a bonus, plenty of them taste just as good (if not better!) than the real thing.

In my experience, wine professionals are extremely generous. Wine is all about sharing, after all, and drinking it alone can be a pretty miserable (or disconcerting) experience. Asked to donate to a charity auction, for example, wine producers and collectors tend to rally round. But there is another rather brilliant way of helping others. German superstar wine producers Klaus Peter (KP) and Julia Keller have dreamt up a way of being altruistic that could be copied by any wine producer, at minimal cost.

Along with being excellent poolside drinks, these bottles go great with a wide array of foods such as sushi and salad. They also complement acidic and smokey dishes, such as Carolina and Texas barbeque. Not to mention spicy dishes are famously balanced by sweet or off-dry wines as the residual sugar acts as a foil to the dish’s heat.

Scan the sparkling wine list at any restaurant and you’ll see a few familiar names: Champagne, Prosecco, Cava. But you probably won’t find one of Europe’s lesser known, food-friendly, and affordably-priced wines: Sekt, a sparkling wine from Germany and Austria.
