Interesting info about organic wines

Organic means that grapes are — from start-to-finish — grown and processed without the use of dangerous soil and water-contaminating pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides, and the final product lacks added sulfite preservatives. Drinking organic also eliminates risk of consuming minute quantities of chemical residues that may make their way into final product, because grapes are heavily sprayed even by conventional agricultural standards.

Wines may be 95 percent, 100 percent, or 70 percet organic, so be sure to read labels. The difference with biodynamic wine is that it's organic and a little esoteric. It's got something to do with being in-tune with the land's needs.
