Organic Wine

Wine is labeled "organic" or "made with organic grapes" with the strict organic rules set by the USDA National Organic Program. In addition, the wine is produced and bottled in a certified-organic facility. Low levels of added sulfites are allowed in wine labeled "made with organic grapes" and no sulfited are allowed in wine labeled "organic" (with the USDA ORGANIC green logo). Because of U.S. regulations regarding sulfites, only domestic wines can be found labeled as Organic Wine.

With grapes topping the list of the most chemically "sprayed" (with insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other nastey "cides") categories of produce on the market today, it is no wonder that many are seeking an organic alternative to their conventional wines.
