Think about fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides etc. Organic wine is made from grapes that have been grown without any chemical interference in he farm or in processing. Some people argue that it is impossible for wine to be 100% natural because the air is ridden with chemicals and there is some percentage that will get into the wine.
