Perception of biodynamic wines

Biodynamic wines are more than just a trend in Slovenia; they represent the pinnacle of sustainable farming, where the winegrower acts as the steward of the entire ecosystem. In recent decades, biodynamic viticulture has increasingly established itself as a sustainable and holistic form of farming. Although they were once the domain of only a few enthusiasts, Slovenian biodynamic wines are now internationally recognised and indispensable in the finest restaurants, even though they still represent a niche segment of the market. In this article, we sought to determine how the actual perception of biodynamics differs from its theoretical foundations, and to assess the acceptability of and attitudes towards biodynamic wines. The research involved surveying 104 participants. The main finding of the research is that knowledge of biodynamics within the surveyed sample is limited. It focuses primarily on the most recognisable concepts. In general, curiosity and a positive attitude prevail, though it is not deeply rooted.
