After many failures to define an "organic standard " of winemaking, a consensus was reached with all European winegrowers. The project of a European organic wine label was finally adopted on 8 February 2012, by the Committee of Organic Farming. So far, only the grapes were certified "from organic farming", the wine was not within the scope of the regulation. The word "wine made from organic grapes" could be on a bottle, with the possible addition of French AB logo on derogation, but no guarantee was given on methods of vinification.
This is a step forward for the wine industry.
