One Bright Spot Amid the Industry’s Gloom: Natural Wine

How do you define natural wine? To illustrate my thinking, go to RAW WINE and drink through all of the tables, not just the big-ish names. A large portion is flawed to the point of undrinkable (mouse, excessive VA, etc.). Some will be fine or enjoyable. Maybe five wines (not producers) will be great. Many of the better natural producers are not going to RAW so that percentage is an exaggeration of the market as a whole, but there is a lot of bad natural wine out there.
