Are you a wine drinker? Do you know what’s in the wine you’re consuming? Do you ever feel sluggish or not so great the next day due to consumption the night before? Do you get the dreaded wine headache? Have you ever thought about the added sugar, chemicals, sulfites, pesticides, etc.. that’s added to the wine you drink?

Mass produced v. Clean-crafted™ wine….

Mass-produced wines are often riddled with pesticides, chemicals, and extra sugars. Think about your own favorite wine. Every time you pop open a bottle, you expect it to taste the same, right?

The truth is, wines are supposed to vary in flavor, even if two bottles are the exact same brand, year and blend. To keep up with our unrealistic expectation that wines should taste the same (while still keeping costs low), conventional winemakers have unfortunately resorted to some not-so-desirable means, such as including potentially harmful chemicals and additives like ferrocyanide, ammonium phosphate, synthetic pesticides, and mega purple.

Sugars and sweetener concentrates are also added to preserve the taste. In fact, the average bottle of wine can contain up to16 grams of sugar (that’s about the same as a glazed donut!).

Here’s the good news….You have a healthier, better option

Scout & Cellar is on a mission to disrupt the wine industry so we can do better for you and better for our planet. Going beyond organic, our Clean-Crafted™ wine is always free from synthetic pesticides and chemical additives and sweeteners.

We partner with growers and family-owned farms to create delicious wine that’s better on the vine, in the bottle, and in your glass.

Scout & Cellar wines are made with JUST GRAPES and less than 50ppm of sulfites on average (all are under 100ppm). Mass-produced wines can contain up to 350ppm sulfites per bottle!

Less sugar = less carbs and calories!

Naturally grown, high-quality wines that you can feel great about drinking yourself and share with family & friends!

Thanks to Scout & Cellar’s clean-crafted™ wines, I am able to enjoy wine without worries because I know that I’m drinking wine in its purest form as nature intended it to – with no artificial chemicals, additives, and unnecessary sugars. The best part- Taste is not compromised… the wines are delicious!
