Is it naturally occurring in the soil where the grapes are grown? —
Interesting.
Fancy grape growers brag about their soil, and some about lack of water that makes the grapes struggle (and probably concentrates the As).
Was the arsenic introduced through the use of pesticides and herbicides on the grapes?
The so called killer arsenic levels come from recycled bottles.
Some body with a poor quality two buck Obozo wine, wants to sell it for $25/bottle and are paying for this lawsuit.
They may need deep pockets by the time big wineries go after them.
LOL! Funny!
From the seeds? A lot of fruit seeds contain arsenic.
The class action suit for California only:

BTW, I read that Brussell sprouts and Salmon contain arsenic. I see no reason why a nice glass of arsenic won’t pair well.
So box winos are in the clear?
“Improvements in GC/Mass-Spec instrumentation has made 50 parts per billion detectable, but that doesn’t mean it’s harmful. “
The pre-2006 limit for water supply companies was 50 ppb, then to 10 ppb. Much of our ground water exceeds 10 ppb.
So, how did she react when you brought home cheap red wine when she only asked for the cheap white wine?
“Is it naturally occurring in the soil where the grapes are grown?”
If the wineries are using their own wells, it could be from the water.
Cue up Neil Diamond on the turntable...
“So box winos are in the clear?”
For now.
One of our wine making friends said that you would have to great 4=6 liters of wine per day for a long time period before having toxic problems.
Of course if you drink that much wine per day, you wouldn’t know nor care if you were having problems.
Soo, I was smart enough to only buy the white wine.
It was pretty funny in the end.
“I just want to know if peloosis vineyard or wine is involved.”
Excellent question. Apparently, strict enviro laws for other vineyards/wineriesdidn’t apply to her vineyard until the reality got on the internet, years ago.
Glad I make my own. They put crap in everything!
Looks like those folk rumors back in the day about arsenic in Annie Greensprings, Ripple, and Boones Farm weren’t too far off the mark!
Doris Charles, Alvin Jones, Jason Peltier, Jennifer Peltierwho are just positive that 1) these wines are all contaminated, and 2) that the properous retailer has known all about it. Follow the shakedown trail!
Menage et Tois makes a pretty good blend. I’m surprised that they’re listed.
Hmmm. Is it REALLY JUST “cheap” wines? And if so, why would “cheap” wines have more arsenic?
