New organic label for European wines launched
Organic wines produced in Europe will be able to be sold under a certified label this year, as the EU tightens rules on winemaking to rival organic bottles from the New World.
Wines made in Europe can already carry a label certifying that the wine is “made from organic grapes” but this “does not cover all winemaking practices, that means the whole refining process from the grape to the wine”, said the European Commission in a statement.
The aim is to ensure that the techniques used to produce organic wine respect common rules.
