“Under the microscope, natural wine looks like a small universe.” – Gilles Verge, natural vine grower in Burgundy.
One of the beauties of natural wine is that it live. It is rich in natural yeast and beneficial bacteria.
From a taste point of view, this means that each bottle of natural wine is a unique experience. Leave the same opened bottle of wine on the counter overnight and you’ll wake up to brand new wine.
But the beauty of living wine goes beyond taste. All those yeasts, bacteria, and colored compounds that make natural wine delicious can also help you live a healthier life. The secret lies in your gut bacteria.
Right now, as you read this, trillions of bacteria are thriving in your gut.these buddies outnumber your own cells —actually, you’re more like a bacterium than a human. Feeding the good bacteria in your gut can give you some huge health benefits: staying lean, feeling happier, and even being more social.
For example…
Your gut bacteria can help you look and feel more alive.
This begs the question: how do natural wine and gut health work together? Can you enjoy the decadence of natural wine while maintaining a healthy lifestyle?
How do natural wine and gut health overlap?
Both natural wine and our gut are alive, which means they are rich in precious bacteria and compounds that can boost your microbiome.
Polyphenols are antioxidants that give red wine its zesty color, Feed Your Beneficial Gut Bacteria like Enterococci, Prevotella, Bacteroidesand Bifidobacteria.polyphenols also remove harmful gut bacteria Make room for newcomers to grow.Two excellent sources of polyphenols in the diet are wine and coffee.
Flavanols and Wine Aroma Compounds Protect brain cells from death People who drink moderate amounts of red wine every day and Preventing Alzheimer’s disease in mice. The point is that the booze travels through the gut, where bacteria break down the flavanols into compounds that keep the brain healthy.
Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in grape skins, made mice leaner by Promote intestinal balance. You’ve probably heard of resveratrol; it gets a lot of attention in the news, but the reality is that most red wine has barely detectable levels.those wines Rich in Resveratrol It’s Malbec, Pinot Noir, Petite Sirah and Saint Laurent. Drink them for your resveratrol fix.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a wild yeast that imparts a spicy, fruity flavor to wine. Its benefits go beyond the mouth-watering taste: Saccharomyces cerevisiae return increase absorption Zinc, magnesium, calcium and iron pass through the intestinal wall, relieve stomach pain People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).Commercial wines are sterilized to remove most of the natural yeasts, but you will find lots of them Saccharomyces cerevisiae in natural wine.
Probiotics are also formed when wine is fermented. Commercial wines are filtered to remove almost all bacteria and sediment. Natural wines retain these beneficial bacteria.which includes Pediococcus pentosaceaa bacterium that attaches to the intestinal wall, protect it from pathogens such as Escherichia coli. Wine also contains lactic acid bacteria, Similar probiotic efficacy Fermented foods such as kimchi and miso, and unique wine probiotics Reduced intestinal inflammation in mice.
Anthocyanins in red wine are prebiotics, support Balanced Gut Biome Helps good gut bacteria replace bad ones.
What to consider when considering natural wine and gut health?
A regular bottle of wine can damage the delicate microbiome inside, even though natural wines have much lower levels or none of the harmful compounds.
sugar bowl feeding harmful yeast Candida and other pathogens in the gut.Sugar impairs gut bacterial balance and reduces brain function The same is true in mice. Fortunately, all of our wines are sugar free as they are fully fermented. The result is a refreshing wine that won’t cause bloating or dull thinking the next day.
Alcohol is also a toxin to the gut.it increase intestinal permeability (leaky gut), which can lead to intestinal inflammation. This is one reason why every bottle of Dry Farm Wines is low alcohol (<12.5% ABV). The high levels of anti-inflammatory polyphenols in natural wine may also counteract the effects of alcohol.
Acetaldehyde is a fermentation by-product, increase intestinal permeability And leave you feeling hungover.However, in the final steps of fermentation, the yeast depleted acetaldehyde as fuel, and bacteria break it down. We ensure that the natural wines we stock contain far less acetaldehyde because they are unfiltered and fermented without human intervention. Low acetaldehyde levels are one of the reasons dry farm wines don’t have a hangover.
How to Serve the Healthiest Wine for Your Gut Bacteria
The answer, in short, is to get real wine, grown naturally.
Organic Grapes. Organically grown (no pesticides) grapes contain more polyphenols and antioxidants than conventional grapes. Grape vines produce antioxidants as a natural way to ward off microbes and pests. Organic vines are not artificially protected from chemical sprays, which means they produce more antioxidants to survive.
Natural wine. Commercial processing techniques, such as extreme filter destruction or removal of many beneficial compounds in wine. Manufacturers often replace them with artificial colors and lab-made yeast strains.
Low sulfites. Sulfites kill bacteria to stabilize wine. The lower the sulfites, the more lively the wine. You can see the difference under a microscope – low sulfite wines are full of wild bacteria and yeasts.
No sugar, low alcohol. Sugar and alcohol are two of the biggest toxins in wine. That’s why all of our wines are laboratory tested, sugar-free and low in alcohol (less than 12.5% alcohol by volume).
Drinking sugar-free, low-alcohol natural wine in moderation can help keep your gut pals healthy and happy, and in turn, they’ll take good care of you. You can enjoy the pleasure of artisanal wine while supporting a strong body and a sound mind.
