A few months ago, I released the article "Dark & Dirty Secrets Of The Wine Industry, Four

Ways To Make Wine Healthier, and What Kind Of Wine Fit People

Should Drink." 

In it, I detailed the serious issues with arsenic, overpricing,

lack of sustainability, high levels of sulfites, amines and

ochratoxins, boatloads of sugars, high pH levels (that increase the

possibility of contamination by unwanted organisms), a less than

stellar taste, plastic polyethylenes and many other problems

plaguing the modern wine industry - and causing many people

(including my wife) to get headaches or poor sleep from a nightly

glass of wine.

At the end of that post, I highlight that I now drink a new kind

of healthy wine called "FitVineWine", and in today's podcast, I

interview Mark Warren, co-founder of FitVineWine, a national level

black belt competitor in TaeKwonDo, a Crossfitter and of course, as

a wine enthusiast and father of two boys, a man after my own

heart.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-Why there are shocking levels of additives and other

fillers in most modern wines...

-How most wineries add sugar and grape concentrate to wines

to adjust the pH (and why pH is so important)...

-Why many wines are filtered through wheat and contain

gluten...

-Whether you need to be concerned about mold in

wine...

-How you can concentrate the amount of antioxidants like

resveratrol, polyphenols and proanthocyanidins in

grapes...

-What it means for a wine to be "biodynamic" or

"organically" farmed...

-Why many wines are over-irrigated and why wineries should

use less water, not more...

-Why wine grapes should be grown at higher, cooler

elevations...

-Why people really aren't allergic to sulfites in wine,

and why it's something else altogether...

-How FitVineWine compares to other popular "healthy" or

"Paleo" wines out there...

-And much more!
