Although I don't drink these wines, it's pretty amazing how many corners are cut. It seems we need some rules in place.

 
22 minutes all to say "Don't drink shitty wine"

While I'm not going to watch 22 minutes worth of ai-shit, it needs to be said no matter how "good" a wine is, or how expensive it is, in the USA wine can have up to dozens different additives, not to mention using Roundup (Glyphosate) on the vines. Personally I think Glyphosate is the big one to avoid - organic wines cannot have the vines treated with it.

Here's a list of approved wine additives:

 
Isn’t all wine shitty? I think it all tastes like feet smell.

I have a daughter that lives in Paris. Through her and visiting, I found out that France has real rules. I don't know why we can't have something similar.

Pretty unusual to use Glyphosate on vines, at least on vines you want to live.

It's used heavily in the vine row. I'm willing to bet there are detectable levels in almost any wine that isn't Live, Organic, or biodynamic certified. But it's ppb. I'm sure we could detect it in beer or whisky too if we looked.

And I'm sure the ethanol that is in parts per hundred will give you cancer first.

Lots of good wine out there, just gotta spend a few more dollars.
