Who Drinks Organic Wine?

   What is organic wine?

Organic wine covers the two main parts of producing wine. First, in the vineyard, it means the grapes were grown using certified organic farming practices. The key part of this is no chemical fertilizers, fungicides, etc. Organic compounds are allowed. Second, during the making of the wine certain things can be done or added to the wine for fermentation, quality, and preservation. This means things like yeast (to ferment) or egg whites (used in fining/clarifying).

• A wine that uses organic grapes, but not organic winemaking, can be labeled Uses Organic Grapes.
• An organic wine isn't necessarily vegan.
• Laws vary from country to country on the exact definition of what is organically grown or produced.
