The world of govt. acronyms [FDA, USDA, TTB, and AMS (American Marketing Service)] have agreed on labeling requirements to help clear up the organic nature of wine. Essentially it looks like they will now require a 'percentage of organic material' statement as well as a 'statement of specific organic ingredients'. But even if the wine is made of 100% organic ingredients it cannot say so on the label unless no sulfites are added. Apparently there is agreement that only wine organically vinified from organic grapes can be called "100% Organic Wine". There is mention of a government "certification" for this truly organic wine but I was unable to find details about that program. One might assume it is an extension of the process for certification of the organic farming process. http://www.mnn.com/food/wine/blogs/labels-on-organic-wines-changing Fri Jun 26 09:44:02 -0700 2009 11405 Midlife
