Organic Wines?

Another question I get a lot at work is about organic wines. I won't name any of the ones we carry, I'm not endorsing any, but we do have a few. Now, organic is a funny thing. It basically means no chemicals or preservatives are used during the growing period, nor can it have any added sulfites, only naturally occurring ones. This means they should be consumed within a few years, they are not made to hang around.

If preservatives are used in any way, they cannot label themselves as organic, they can only say "made from organic grapes". It's all how you word it, isn't it? These can have added sulfites. More on sulfites at a later time.
I am going to eventually try one, just to see if there is some sort of difference in taste. Doubt it though.
