~ ORGANIC, LOW SULFITE & KOSHER ~
Some Definitions:
Biodynamic Wine: (Not yet a legally defined term) Wine made from grapes grown organically and according
to Biodynamic principles created by Rudolf Steiner, including the use of herbal compost additives and plant
treatments, practiced in conjunction with planetary movements. (May contain added sulfites).
Organic Wine: Wine made from grapes grown by organic methods, by a certified organic vineyard. Processed
without synthetic chemicals, under 100 parts per million added sulfites allowed toprevent oxidation.
This is under the amount of added sulfites commonly found in conventional wine.
NSA: No Sulfites Added
Sulfites: Sulfites are used as a preservative in wine but they also occur naturally in grapes,
and hence in the finished product. There are wines that are naturally low in sulfites and indeed some that have no sulfites.
Sulfites are not harmful although they do cause allergic reactions in some people.
Kosher: Kosher wines are made following kosher law. Many times they are organic as well.
Many wines that are made using organically grown grapes do not state it on the label, particularly small
family-run estates in many countries of Europe. Some of these winemakers have grown grapes for several
generations and have simply never used pesticides or herbicides; neither have they gone through the
certification process. We have not included those wines on this list.
