How we prove a place
A place counts only when there is evidence on file that it pours natural wine: its own website says so, its wine list names natural producers we recognise, a named publication calls it a natural-wine venue, or natural-wine importers list it as a stockist. Each one shows its reasons, its source and the date we last checked. Venues cannot pay to be listed or ranked. The stamps
