Our promise.
Responsible viticulture knows no boundaries.
Vioneers is one of the wine retailers in Germany with the strictest criteria for including a winery in its range. Our guideline is that the production of high-quality wines is compatible with the principles of responsible viticulture. Regardless of where in the world the winery is located. Because responsibility knows no boundaries! Our criteria are SUSTAINABLE, HONEST and SOCIAL (SHS). Every winery in our range meets our high standards for all SHS criteria. Promised!
All organic or what?
There are many definitions of what SUSTAINABLE means in winemaking. Not all winemakers are certified for their responsible approach to nature. So we check on site whether a winemaker meets our standards for the handling of the natural product wine. In fact, over 70% of the producers in our range currently have a certificate that proves their sustainable winemaking. This
You can recognize wines by the "Sustainable" badge in our online shop.
Which certificates are hidden behind the "Sustainable" badge?
The best-known certificates are certainly organic and Demeter. However, there is a diverse and lesser-known selection of smaller certificates, some of which go far beyond the organic standards.
Below you will find an overview of all the certificates of our wineries.
Trust as the most important currency
Over 50 additives can be used in wine production, none of which have to be listed on the label. Mass-produced and cheap wines are flooding the market with artificially produced smells, appearances and tastes. The security of holding an HONEST product in your hand is therefore our top priority.
✔ 100% family wineries
✔ Personal relationship with the winemaker
✔ No influence from ratings, seals or points
Responsibility for the team in the engine room
The work in winemaking is often physically demanding and time-consuming, and not just during harvest time. Cheap workers from low-wage countries are popular. Against this background, high standards in the SOCIAL area are of fundamental importance to us.
✔ Fair wages and humane treatment
✔ Social responsibility
✔ Social commitment
