Sulfites: Can’t Live With ‘Em, Can’t Make Wine Without ‘Em

The Organic Wine Company Posted on October 25, 2012 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Sulfites: Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live Without Them

– By Rebecca Gibb. New research finds that those who suffer from headaches would pay for less sulfites in their wine. Sulfur dioxide use in winemaking has been coming under the spotlight as a minimal-intervention movement agitates for less reliance on the compound. Sulfur has taken flak for causing health problems, although the scientific community is divided on the issue. That prompted a Colorado State University study of consumer perceptions of sulfites and whether drinkers would pay more for a bottle labeled “low in sulfur.” The findings, published by the American Association of Wine Economists, are that consumers would be willing to … Continue reading →

The EU Decides “Organic Wine” Can Contain Sulfites!

The Organic Wine Company Posted on October 24, 2012 by adminMarch 31, 2021
The EU decides “Organic Wine” can contain sulfites!

– by W. Blake Gray. While “organic wine” in the U.S. is a minor category, it’s about to become big in Europe. The EU has ruled the exact opposite of the US: that “organic wine” can contain sulfites. The EU will restrict the amount of sulfites they may contain: 100 ppm total for red wine, 150 ppm for white or rosé, as opposed to the 10 ppm allowed (and only when naturally occurring) in U.S. “organic wine.” (Conventional wines in the US are allowed 350 ppm.) This is a huge difference. In covering this issue, I have spoken to several natural … Continue reading →

Q & A: What is the Typical Alcohol Content of Organic Wine?

The Organic Wine Company Posted on October 10, 2012 by adminMarch 31, 2021

Q: “What is the typical alcohol content of organic wine. I am considering ordering the Chateau Bousquette 2001. I am not very familiar with organic wines but am interested in learning more.  Thanks -Cathy” A: Hello Cathy, You can find the alcohol content of each wine in the Product Detail page accessible by clicking on each label or link (on the left side) of the shopping cart. Most of our wines contain 12.5% alcohol which is kind of ideal. The difference is not due to organic growing but to the climate/soil combination between Europe and most of the US. Domestic … Continue reading →

Q & A: Sulfites, Allergy and Diabetes

The Organic Wine Company Posted on October 10, 2012 by adminMarch 31, 2021
Sulfites Allergy and Diabetes

Q : Hello, I am trying to obtain as much information as I can in reference to organic wine and sulfites. I am a diabetic and I am also allergic to sulfites. I have not been able to get any sound information on the subject. I would like to know if organic wine has any of it’s own natural sulfites. It would be great to have an occasional glass of wine but I am afraid to attempt it until I can get a better definition about the sulfites. I am allergic to sulfur in medication which is how I found … Continue reading →
