Punkovino: Ten Natural Wine Dissidents

A young entrepreneurial couple has developed a wine with a difference. It's all natural, and fertilised by bat poo, thanks to the family of bats who live in an abandoned cabin in the vineyard. An unusual selling point... which creates a wine with a gothic, edgy feel. 

Enjoy alcohol responsibly.

If François Saint-Lô was going to buy a place and settle down, then it would be on his own terms. No boring, lonely home ownership for him. Instead he turned his new home into a creative, eclectic community of people, and together they produce, promote and commercialise his all-natural wine. 
Remember: Alcohol harms your health, so enjoy it in moderation.

With little money in his pocket, Eloi emigrated from Tarragona to Mallorca to breathe new life into a deserted vineyard. Here he grows almost forgotten, native grape varieties. And to protect its all natural process, Eloi refuses to add the acidity that would put this wine into a superior category of wines from Mallorca. Instead, he's happy to produce humble table wine, all natural and made from, and in, the earth. Bear in mind that too much alcohol harms your health.

In a tiny village in the Corbières in the south of France, Alban Michel has found his promised land. He is a radical natural wine supporter. His worst enemy isn't chemicals though: ironically, it's nature. Wild boar love his grapes, and within a couple of days, they can wipe out a year's worth of hard graft. Remember to enjoy wine and other alcohols responsibly.

Wine has been produced for 8000 years in huge clay jugs in Georgia. In Kakheti, at the foot of the Greater Caucasus, a young natural winegrower called Keti is following in her father's footsteps. But people still aren't used to women winegrowers in Georgia - not that she's going to let that stop her: She even called her wine Gogo, which means woman. Remember: always consume alcohol in moderation.

Servaas Blockeel lives in Flanders where he grows his natural wine. Surrounded by farmers who spray aplenty of pesticides, he is a bit of a strange one. Even stranger: he experiments with fermenting red and white grapes together in egg-shaped plastic huts. Remember: Alcohol harms your health.

Vincent Marie is in communion with his earth. He believes it feels his intentions behind it, and without belief in his actions, the grapes will not grow. And as well as a heart full of good intentions, he has a magic ingredient...

A bit of sun, water and earth are the building blocks of a vineyard. But Vincent has got one extra special ingredient up his sleeve.

In the southeast of Sicily, Arianna Occhipinti is a star of the natural wine scene. She relies on natural yeast for fermentation. This gives her wine its unique flavour, which she says encapsulates the flavour of the island. Make sure to only consume alcohol in moderation.

This is the story of death and survival, exclusion and hope told by those who lived through it. 40 years ago an HIV infection seemed like a death sentence. When the first patients fell ill with high fever, pneumonia and fungal infections in the early 1980s, doctors were at a loss. Most of those affected were gay men, but the cause of the mystery illness escaped them.
After much protests and medical advancements, the stigma of HIV has lessened but the virus is still with us.
