I completely agree! Such a difficult question to understand the true intention behind when we hear it. I think the hardest part for me is figuring out if that person honestly cares about the low intervention, low additive nature of the wine or is looking for a taste and aroma profile that is more typical of “natural” (with all the funk to match). Maybe overly optimistic of me but I hope that there are consumers that use the term on both sides of that and it’s so hard to delicately probe to figure out which they are!

I think your description in this post is just about the same long winded way I'd answer and customer at the table asking about natural wine! I always talk about the difference between sustainable, organic, and biodynamic wine. I also explain why "natural wine" is still just a very broad blanket term and I offer examples of the other ways to define what you're looking for and how to identify what you enjoy. 💗
