The key is that the wine passes through the gut, where your bacteria break the flavanols down into compounds that keep your brain healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Resveratrol<\/strong>, an antioxidant found in grape skins, makes mice leaner by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/24722352\">fostering a balanced gut<\/a>. You may have heard of resveratrol; it gets a lot of attention in the news, but the reality is that most red wines have nearly undetectable amounts of it. The wines that do have&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0308814606001075\">plentiful resveratrol<\/a>&nbsp;are Malbec, Pinot Noir, Petite Syrah, and St. Laurent.

Sugar hurts gut bacterial balance and decreases&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0306452215004480\">brain function<\/a>&nbsp;in mice, too. Fortunately,&nbsp;<strong>all our wines are sugar-free<\/strong>&nbsp;because they\u2019re left to fully ferment. The result is crisp wine that won\u2019t cause bloating or dull your thinking the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alcohol<\/strong>&nbsp;is a toxin for your gut too. It&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2614138\/\">increases gut permeability<\/a>&nbsp;(leaky gut), which can cause gut inflammation. That\u2019s one reason why&nbsp;<strong>every bottle from Dry Farm Wines is low-alcohol<\/strong>&nbsp;(&lt;12.5% ABV). The high amount of anti-inflammatory polyphenols in natural wine may also counter the effects of alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Acetaldehyde<\/strong>&nbsp;is a fermentation byproduct that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC2614138\/\">increases intestinal permeability<\/a>&nbsp;and makes you feel hungover. During the final steps of fermentation, though, yeasts&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0963996910003777\">use up acetaldehyde<\/a>&nbsp;as fuel, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/aem.asm.org\/content\/72\/1\/221.full\">bacteria break it down<\/a>. We make sure&nbsp;<strong>the natural wines we stock have far less acetaldehyde<\/strong>&nbsp;because they\u2019re unfiltered and ferment without human intervention.

Grapes grown organically (without pesticides) have more polyphenols and antioxidants than conventional grapes do. Grapevines produce antioxidants as a natural way to protect against microbes and pests. Organic vines aren\u2019t artificially protected by chemical sprays, which means they produce many more antioxidants to survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Natural Wines.<\/strong>&nbsp;Commercial processing techniques like extreme filtration damage or remove many of the good compounds in wine. Manufacturers often replace them with artificial coloring and lab-created yeast strains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Low sulfites.<\/strong>&nbsp;Sulfites kill bacteria to stabilize a wine. The lower the sulfites, the more alive a wine remains. You can see the difference under a microscope \u2013 low-sulfite wine is vibrant with a diverse spectrum of wild bacteria and yeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sugar-free, low-alcohol wine.<\/strong>&nbsp;Sugar and alcohol are the two biggest toxins in wine. That\u2019s why all our wines are lab-tested to be sugar-free and low-alcohol (below 12.5% alcohol by volume).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By drinking moderate amounts of sugar-free, low-alcohol Natural Wine, you\u2019ll help keep the companions in your gut healthy and happy, and in turn, they\u2019ll take good care of you. You can enjoy the pleasure of artisanal wine while supporting a strong body and a sound mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready to try pure, handcrafted Natural Wine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THE DRY FARM WINES PROMISE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every bottle of Dry Farm Wines Wines must taste delicious.
