Chiantis never had the same kick again after the antifreeze was taken out of them
Meh, unless these go for $3.99 a bottle, we don’t have to worry in this house...
This is just trial lawyers hitting the "Cha-Ching" button.
People who are never exposed to anything have much weaker immune systems than those whose immune systems are challenged by low levels of things that are toxic at high levels. Same phenomenon as the fact that only-children are far more likely to contract leukemia than children from larger families.
HORMESIS - A biphasic dose response to an environmental agent characterized by a low dose stimulation or beneficial effect and a high dose inhibitory or toxic effect.
Arsenic and Old Lace.
Fusel oils are great!
In the sixties dozens died in North Africa due to cooking oils being contaminated with recycled crankcase oil. IIRC it was in Libya.
It’s up to $2.49 buck Chuck.
With that large of a percentage increase, Chuck should rate above all others.
Could the journalist not be bothered to ask what the source of the As is? Is it naturally occurring in the soil where the grapes are grown? Does it come from fertilizers or pesticides? Equipment sanitizing? Elves?

Arsenic is an element - what exactly is the difference between organic and inorganic arsenic?
The dumbing down of society continues apace.
In another article, I read the wine has no more arsenic in them than the old water standards. And that was based on a person drinking 2 liters of water a day. Not many people drink 2 liters of wine a day.
You changed water into wine in your post.
“Could the journalist not be bothered to ask what the source of the As is? Is it naturally occurring in the soil where the grapes are grown?”
If it is from the soil, they might be spiking their local economy.
I just want to know if peloosi’s vineyard or wine is involved.
SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! Hicc!
(I kid...I kid...)
The article fails to answer why the winemakers are adding arsenic to the wines in the first place?
Not sure if I’m being sarcastic or not. Why would it only be in low cost wines? Different grapes, water?
