(Sigh)
Sadly the wine industry is again challenged by ignorance. How can products used in the production process be classed as additives when no traces remain in the final product…..? Even yeast is on this list!
Wine ‘Ingredients’ to be listed on label…

Hi Andrew
Interesting article from the UK… I wonder why they chose to only show Australian wine in the photo and only mentioned wine from Australian in the actual article itself. Do you think that that adds to the impression that Australian wine is full of additives in the UK or am I being a touch paranoid over what could easily be innocent commentary.
Whilst I don’t agree with the idea at all there are some would would suggest that for too long Australian wineries over extract their wine and then fine to soften them up. The best wineries are often those that use these processes the least.

Australian wines are an easy target sadly, occupying an end of the market that is criticised for its industrial nature, making it a soft choice to be labelled as ‘full of additives’
