What is, and what is not, an organic wine remains a confusing subject for consumers and a source of heated debate for industry experts.
Organic grapes do not necessarily make organic wines. An organic vineyard is not the whole story; the process of a wine maker must be organic, too.
Almost every other winemaker in the world adds a small amount of sulfites, a preservative that prevents oxidation and bacterial spoilage. In America, wines with added sulfites cannot display the “USDA organic” label, even when the grapes are 100 percent organic. Complicating the issue is the fact that, although commercial sulfite is an additive, sulfite naturally results from yeast fermentation during wine production.
Our grape Juice available is produced with organically grown grapes. We here at A&P Grape Distributors,will continue providing you the best possible fruit.
