Organic wine questions
What makes a wine organic?
Organic wine starts with grapes farmed without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, usually under third-party certification. The rules for the cellar differ by country. In the US, wine labeled organic can't have added sulfites, while wine labeled made with organic grapes can. In the EU, certified organic wine may contain a limited amount of added sulfites.
Is organic wine better for you?
Organic wine has about the same alcohol and calories as conventional wine, so its effect on your body is essentially the same. The benefit is mostly in the vineyard, with fewer synthetic chemicals in the soil and on the grapes, which many growers and drinkers care about. Many people also find organic producers tend to make wine with less manipulation in general.
Does organic wine have sulfites?
All wine contains some sulfites, because yeast produces them naturally during fermentation. US-certified organic wine has no added sulfites, but it will still have a small natural amount. European organic wines and US wines made with organic grapes may add sulfites, though the allowed limits are lower than for conventional wine.
Is organic wine the same as natural wine?
No. Organic is a certified standard that covers how the grapes are farmed. Natural wine has no legal definition, but it usually starts with organic or biodynamic grapes and then adds very little in the cellar, with native yeast, no fining or filtering and little or no added sulfur. All natural wine should be organic, but most organic wine isn't natural wine.
