Unless you never drink wine, there is a VERY high
probability that you have drunk wine that was
grown using Sevin or Carbaryl 80 WP (liquid

Gallo wine is and has been a completely certified organic product for
decades.

Eeeeeh. The good news: Organic wine is a growing trend. Gallo, the
largest U.S. winemaker with 33% market share, currently has 2,700 of its
9,000 total acreage organically certified. Bad news: Gallo buys 2/3 of
California grapes, mostly from the bulk wine area of the "Central Vally".
Most Gallo wine isn't certified organic. Which isn't to say that
it isn't drinkable. Most of it is simply "California" (anywhere
in California) not necessarily one of the premium, cooler, wine
growing regions like North Coast or Central Coast or Alexander
Valley or Edna Valley.

The last I checked (2003) the following local wineries were
organic to some extent.

The following wineries have been ranked as: all organic vineyard and no
sulfites wines, all organic vineyard wines, bio-dynamic vineyards, and
organic vineyards

In order for a wine to qualify as organic, it must have just 10 parts
(or fewer) per million sulfites.
