Buying Organic Wine

If you’re wild about wine, and want to go organic, you’re in luck: A number of wineries now are producing organic wines that rival conventionally produced vino. The purist might want to consider truly organic wines, processed from pesticide- and herbicide-free grapes, with no added sulfites. Others less concerned with added sulfites can satisfy their organic cravings with wine labeled “made from organic grapes.”

Wineries with widely distributed organic wines include Badger Mountain, Bonterra, China Bend, Frey, Honeyrun, LaRocca, Lolonis, Nevada Wine Guild, Octopus Mountain, Organic Wine Works and Orleans Hill.

Wine distributors can be a useful resource for finding organic wine in your area. Organic Vintages, based in New York, has a toll-free number and will assist in finding organic wines nationwide [(800) 877-6655].
