Explain the 4 items that you find on a standard wine label?
A wine label wlll state what type of wine is in the bottle. If it is a vintage wine, the label will also give the year in which the grapes were grown. The label will give the name of the winery that made the wine. The label will also tell where the grapes were grown. This could just be the state, but could also be a specific viticultural area, such as Napa. It might even tell the name of the vineyard where the grapes were grown; this is called "vineyard specific".
Is Aglianico a natural wine?
It doesn't depend on the grape variety, it depends on who makes it! There could be wineries that have chosen organic methods to cultivate their vineyards, as well as there could be wineries that use traditional methods. If you want to drink Aglianico wine from organic grapes, look for this symbol (http://www.ccomemagazine.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/biologico.jpg) on the back label. (According to the law, "natural wine" doesn't exists; a natural wine is what you get from grapes cultivated with organic methods). Cheers, Giovanni

What are some criticisms to the current nutritional label?
One criticism is the use of the word "natural," which is not actually defined and can be misleading to the consumer. Some think it means "organic" and it does not. Another is the use of the word "organic." Some consumers do not realize that in order for a food to be 100% organic, it must be labeled "100% organic." If it is simply labeled "organic," "contains organic ingredients," or "70% organic" it can contain food additives and preservatives, ingredients that are not organic, and GMO ingredients. A main focus of some groups is that labels do not state if ingredients are GMO. They believe that should be stated on the label; however, at this time, most foods, even organic and those with the Non-GMO Project seal, contain some level of GMOs as a result of organic crops being cross-pollinated by GMO crops. In short, the main criticisms of current labeling does not have to do with the nutritional section of the label necessarily, but with the overall labeling not being totally transparent and at times deceptive.
The organic label guarantees that organic foods are grown without?
Chemical or toxic pesticide-free is the guarantee that an organic label makes in regard to organic-grown foods. For example, non-organic and organic foods may be grown with pest management programs that include the use of pyrethrin. Food that is grown with pyrethrin derived from Chrysanthemum cinerarifolium will be considered organic whereas food grown with pyrethrin that combines with such synthetic adjuvants as piperonyl butoxide or that synthetically is made will not receive organic certification.
