Recall that this wine competition is the largest in Spain dedicated to organic wines by number of samples submitted, as well as the largest wine competition organized from La Rioja, but for all wine regions. It is also worth noting the objective of the **International Organic Wine Festival**, although it is clear that the purpose is to promote the production of organic wines, publicize the wine wealth and the good work of the participating wineries, extolling the ecological character, care for the environment and responsible consumption, give visibility to organic wines, musts and vinegars from all over the world and stimulate the production of organic production. The [**call for the Ecovino Awards 2022**](https://www.premiosecovino.com/) was open to all wineries in the world that produce wines from organic grapes and comply with European regulations or the equivalent regulations of non-EU countries, always with the final certification (wines in transition to organic are not accepted). They must be wines that are present in the usual sales and consumption channels, duly bottled and labelled. ## **Characteristics of organic wine.** Organic wine is characterized by implementing sustainable actions for the cultivation of the vineyard in its different stages of production. Even in **their passage through the cellar**.  > A strict control by certifying companies, lower the control of soil analyses, leaves, grapes and finished wine, if all the analyses are correct, not containing chemicals not authorized for the consumption of organic wine, this certification will be obtained. Once the certification has been obtained, it will be communicated to the Ministry of Organic Agriculture to authorize the marketing of organic wine.  **Organic wine comes from grapes grown under the parameters set out in the Law**, the use of elements that are not natural is not allowed, neither in the fields of cultivation, nor in the vineyards. The vineyards are free of systemic fungicides, pesticides and chemical herbicides. Spain has become a world leader in organic vineyard extension. Consumption, however, is not too high, although it grows year by year: In 2020, more than 25 million bottles. The foreign market is, for the moment, the main attraction. Organic wine is a trend. Yes, as if it were a new haircut or the design of a trousers. In recent years, and thanks to the ** increasingly sustainable mentality of consumers**, the field has begun to open in the wine industry in Spain. ## **Spain, world leader in extension of organic vineyards.** Particularly, our country is a world leader in extension of **organic vineyard** and that arouses more and more interest in its production, immersed as we are in promoting a more respectful agriculture with the planet. The ecological area of vineyards in Spain grew by 7% annual growth in 2019 to reach 121,279 hectares, i.e. 5.15 hectares % of the national ecological area and 26.88 % of the World Cup. The figures are very positive, despite the fact that their **domestic consumption** is still low.
