Natural Wine

Probably the most widely held notion by people who support natural wine is that it must not contain any sulfites.

Advocates of natural wine often say they prefer wines made with minimal intervention. They often say that the U.S. government permits non-natural wines to have lots of additives. This is true. Okrasiuk/Shutterstock

For decades, there has been a wine trend that is fostered by some faulty assumptions about today’s commercial wines.

I would call this the “Natural Wine Movement,” but the word “movement” implies it is widespread. Fortunately, it isn’t. To me, the topic is more emotional than factual or meaningful.
