Organic Wines
What Is Organic Wine?
Organic wine is made from 100% organically grown grapes, cultivated without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These vineyards use eco-conscious farming practices that promote soil health, protect local biodiversity, and support long-term sustainability. It’s a process rooted in respecting nature from the ground up.
But growing grapes organically is just the beginning. To earn organic certification, winemakers must also follow strict standards in the cellar. While many aspects of the winemaking process remain similar to conventional methods, organic producers avoid certain chemical additives and minimize intervention to let the grape’s natural character shine.
It’s also important to understand that organic doesn’t mean sulfite-free. All wines contain some naturally occurring sulfites. However, in the U.S., certified organic wines are made without added sulfites, while in the EU, small amounts are allowed under regulated limits.
At Juicefly Spirits, we carefully select organic wines that meet these rigorous standards, ensuring our Los Angeles customers enjoy a cleaner, more authentic wine experience, delivered right to their door.
How Is Organic Wine Made?
Organic wine goes through a strict certification process, from how the grapes are grown to how the wine is bottled. To qualify as USDA Organic, winemakers must follow clean, sustainable practices at every step.
Grapes are grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs. Instead, organic vineyards use natural methods that protect the soil, local ecosystems, and long-term vineyard health. Even ingredients like yeast must be certified organic.
During production, winemakers avoid artificial additives and chemical processing. Any non-agricultural ingredients must be approved and kept under 5% of the total content. In the U.S., organic wines also cannot contain added sulfites, which are often used in conventional wines as preservatives.
You might also see wines labeled “Made with Organic Grapes.” These use 100% certified organic grapes, but may include non-organic yeast and can contain added sulfites (up to 100 ppm). Still a cleaner choice, just not as strict as fully organic wines.
Do Organic Wines Taste Different?
Organic wines can offer a distinct taste, often described as more vibrant, expressive, or “alive.” That’s largely due to the way they’re made. Without synthetic chemicals or heavy intervention in the vineyard or cellar, organic wines tend to highlight the natural character of the grapes and the land they’re grown on, what wine lovers call terroir.
Many organic wines showcase cleaner, fresher flavor profiles, and some drinkers find them easier to enjoy with food or on their own. That said, taste is always personal. The difference between organic and conventional wines can vary based on the grape variety, region, and how the wine is made.
At Juicefly Spirits, we’ve curated a wide range of organic wines, from smooth California reds to crisp European whites, so there’s something for every palate. Discover the natural taste of wine, delivered straight to your door in Los Angeles.
Does Organic Wine Have Less Alcohol?
Sometimes, but not always. Organic wines are made without added sugars, which means the fermentation process relies entirely on the grape’s natural sugars. Because of this, some organic wines may have slightly lower alcohol content compared to conventional wines, especially if the winemaker is aiming for a lighter, more balanced style.
That said, alcohol levels in organic wine can vary just like any other wine, depending on the grape variety, climate, and fermentation method. You’ll find everything from crisp, low-ABV whites to bold reds with full-strength character in our collection.
Another perk? Many customers say they feel better the next day after drinking organic wine, possibly due to fewer additives and no added sulfites.
Does Organic Wine Mean Sulfite Free?
Not entirely, but organic wines usually contain less sulfites than conventional ones.
While natural wines may be completely sulfite-free, organic wines are allowed to contain small amounts of naturally occurring sulfites, which are a natural byproduct of fermentation. What matters is how much is added, if any.
In the U.S., certified organic wines cannot have added sulfites, meaning they typically have significantly lower levels compared to non-organic wines. However, wines labeled as “made with organic grapes” may still include added sulfites, though the amount is strictly regulated and capped at 100 parts per million.
