Organic and Vegan Wine: Domaine Spiropoulos
We’re completely biased since this is my pre-Ellis Island surname as it is spelled in Greek. Also Domaine Spiropoulos just happens to make consistently tasty wines that happen to be organic and vegan.
BASICS» Organic Wine
Organic wine is made from organically grown grapes. No chemicals are used, although most organic winemakers add sulfites in the cellar as a preservative which makes the bottles ineligible for the USDA “certified organic” stamp. So, the majority of organic wines get labeled with the less-stringent “made with organic grapes.”
