How Wine is Made: The Good, the Bad, the “Natty”

I support and love all kinds of wine, but I think it helps people to understand wine as an agricultural product if we start with what IS and IS NOT considered a Natural wine. Listen, I really don’t like labels, but we gotta break it down before we build it back up! Wine-making dates back thousands and thousands of years but it's been industrialized as technology and society advanced. As an unregulated product, mass-produced wine can have some questionable additives, animal by-products, and absurd amounts of sugar without any indication or notification on the label. But not all wine is created equal. Let’s break down what a natural or “natty” wine really is, what are the exceptions, and what are my rules and best practices on how to order and shop for wine.
