How to Explain Natural Wine to the Mom in Your Life

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and it's a time filled with anticipation and joy, especially this year. As many of you know, I've recently entered into the wonderful world of motherhood. This new chapter has not only deepened my love for our community but has also given a new layer of meaning to Mother's Day for me.

I've had several of you reach out about the best way to share our love for natural wines with your moms (and yes, we've put together a special Mother's Day Wine Box for that very reason!). It's the perfect occasion to introduce them to the wines we cherish—much like I did with my own mom, a steadfast New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc enthusiast.

Sharing Natural Wine with Our Moms: A Heartfelt Guide

Natural wine might seem a bit unconventional at first, especially for those who have their favorite go-to wines. Whether it’s a rich Napa Cabernet or a crisp Sauvignon Blanc, introducing natural wines offers a refreshing twist.

Here’s a simple guide on how to share your passion for natural wines with your mom:

1. Set the Stage: Always begin with what matters most—whether you enjoy what you’re drinking. It’s about sharing joy and comfort, setting a positive tone without any pressure.

2. Highlight Health & Environmental Benefits: Start the conversation with the benefits of natural wines. They’re free from pesticides and have fewer sulfites, appealing to anyone who prefers an organic lifestyle.

3. Emphasize the Differences: Natural wines are vibrant and living, reflecting the unique characteristics of their vintage and terroir. They’re a journey of discovery in every glass.

4. Share Stories & Scarcity: Each bottle of natural wine comes from small, passionate producers who often have unique tales to tell. The limited quantities make each sip a special experience.

5. Be Prepared with Wine: Nothing beats experiencing wine together. Have a bottle of your favorite natural wine ready to open, making the introduction both educational and enjoyable.
