<div style="text-align: justify;">Organic wines bearing the new EU labelling: their first vintage is approaching. More transparency with the EU logo, and with the product ingredients. The European Commission announces that the new labelling shall be applied to wines produced and marketed already in 2012. With the "new" organic wine, sorbic acid and desulfuration will no longer be authorized, and the level of sulfites will have to be much lower, max 100 mg/liter for red wines (150mg/liter for conventional red wines), 150 mg/lt for white/rosé wines (200 mg/lt), with a differential of 30mg/lt when the residual sugar content is above 2 gr/liter.<br>In the EU, organic wine productions cover about 75,000 ha of vineyards for a total surface of about 3.5 million ha. The largets productions are in Italy (30,341 ha), followed by France (21,403 ha) and Spain (17,665 ha).<br></div><br>Source: ASCA<br>
