What Does Organic Wine Really Mean?
Four categories of organic wine exist in the U.S.:
- “100% Organic Wine” must be made with 100% organically grown grapes, vinified without added sulfites, and show the name of the USDA accredited certifying agency.
- “Organic Wine”
must be made from 95% organically farmed grapes with no added sulfites.
- “Wine Made with Organic Grapes” must contain at least 70% organically farmed and verified grapes and may contain added sulfites.
- “Some Organic Ingredients” includes less than 70% organic grapes and the label must identify the organic percentage.
