Why Organic Matters for Wines
All of the wines we carry at Pass Health Foods are from organic grapes. Many people don't realize, but wine grapes are one of the most heavily chemically sprayed crops, so by choosing organic wines you're reducing your pesticide exposure (and making a better choice for the environment).
Also, we have labeled all of our wines if they are made with no added sulfites, or with low sulfites. Sulfites are preservatives in wine. Some people have found that they can have reactions to sulfites, the most common of which are headaches or their skin getting red, and often feel better when they drink wines that don't have added sulfites.
We also mark our wines by which are vegan. Some winemakers use animal products in the winemaking process, usually in the fining process. Winemakers often use egg whites, isinglass (an ingredient from fish bladders), gelatin, or casein to bind to particulates or sediment in the wines. Our wines will have tags next to all our vegan wines, which is the vast majority (the ones where we can't find a conclusive answer if they use animal products we treat as non-vegan wines).
We actually have the most comprehensive organic wine section of anywhere nearby, so stop in to see our selection and mark your calendars for our Free Organic Summer Wine Tasting on June 13th from 12-3!
