Wine with no Additives

[Jerry D Mead]

Rocky...Wine by definition is fermented grape juice...period! The only thing that is added us sulfur dioxide in quantities of parts per million which has been common practice for a couple of centuries. It helps prevent oxidation/spoilage, and by the way is a naturally occuring by-product of every food that involves fermentation, including beer, soy sauce, yoghurt and so on.

In the US if anything else is added it will appear on the label with a statement such as "Wine with additional natural flavor" or some such. These flavored wines aren't considered real wine by most serious wine drinkers.
