Glyphosate is used almost universally on non-organic wheat during the harvest to uniformly dry wheat prior to harvesting saving time and therefore money. It is probably used around the field for weed control during the growing season.

There are supposed to be strict controls to label organic. There certainly are bio-dynamic wines. Biodynamic is a step up for verification and certification. It can take years and money to achieve the cert. It's no wonder organic can be pricey.

Hi, could you expand upon the term Biodynamic? Sounds interesting, but a new term to me. I am not a heavy drinker, but when alcoholic beverages come up my Scots Irish ancestry originally coming from Whiskey Rebellion country kicks in. I donтАЩt know for certain if I had any ancestors involved, but itтАЩs highly likely on both my fatherтАЩs and my motherтАЩs side.

The certification for biodynamic is too complicated for me to explain, I use Benziger wines that are organic and some are biodynamic. There are many uses for biodynamics.
