Tips & Warnings
Ask a wine merchant for organic wine recommendations. Organic wines are widely available and the wine merchants will be able to recommend a few of their personal favorites.
Visit an organic market such as Whole Foods Market to find an organic white wine.
To be certified organic, wineries must meet stringent standards. Wines that claim to be organic but don't bear the label are not truly organic because they have not met these strict standards of organic farming.
