What it says: made from organic grapes

What it means: Not all wines made with organically grown grapes can be labeled “organic.” That’s because some winemakers add sulfites as an antibacterial preservative to extend shelf life (and enable wines to ship long distances), disqualifying it for the organic label. Other winemakers choose not to incur the expense of certification.
