Organic wine fair Millésime Bio attracts more visitors

Millésime Bio, the “organic wine fair” recently held in Narbonne saw visitor numbers grow with 33%. England and Germany were the two foreign countries best represented. World production of wine from land under “agriculture Biologique” is 365 000 hectolitre, up 12% from last year. (NB: there is, in principle, no “organic wine”, only “wine produced from grapes grown organically”)
