Testing 40 bottles of wine purchased with in European Union showed systematically unhygienic pesticides residues. This reading was made by pesticide action network (PAN) (Europe).all together 34 bottles of wine contain 148 pesticide residue each bottle contain minimum one pesticide, while the mean number per bottle of wine was more than 4.Actual results can be found on PAN website www.pan-europe.info/media/PR/080326.html and the level of pesticides found per liter.
And what the pesticides are they turn out to be fairly compassionate chemicals damaging the health at extreme level .further tasting of agrochemicals involves effects at high concentration assuming that those who will work with them risk exposure to them. If these chemicals have potential to be carcinogenic, should we be using it all at one wine grapes? There is such a dose that has no observable adverse effects and to avoid using sunscreens because of worries about health could end up putting you in much worse danger. For many compounds there is a threshold effect for carcinogenesis at certain level a harmless substance crosses this threshold then become harmful.
Think that if you have an ideological objection to systemic fungicides on the reason that they are artificial and prefer to use sulphur and copper because you see them as natural that is your right. But you can’t declare that systematic fungicides are going to harm people if studies have shown they are only harmful at much higher levels than are used in practice. The class of pesticides that showed up most often was fungicides. As practice of Decanter, vineyards occupy just 3 percent of French farm land, but account for 20 percent of the nations over all pesticides use and 80 percent of fungicide use.
Chatonnet is a winemaker himself who conducted this research is head of the firm his vineyards are in Bordeaux run by the family, he founded lab in 1992 and test conducted showed that Chatonnet wines are not organic. what we all want to find good organic ones.
