The Tricky Wine Industry

Uncover the truth about the wine industry & make a smarter choice with SYLTBAR.

Most wines are loaded with chemicals, additives and sugar. Did you know wine companies are legally allowed to add 76 chemical additives to wine and not tell the consumer what they are?

These harmful ingredients cause hangovers, headaches and other side effects. The "big brand" sparkling wines are filled with these additives. Their wines are also priced 6X more than it costs to make them. That's an expensive hangover!

The Wine Industry's Dirty Little Secrets

From nasty chemicals and additives, to weird practices, a lot goes into the pricey bottle of wine you're drinking.

Fact #1

They add chemicals, additives and sugar to enhance aroma, color, flavor and alcohol content.

Fact #2

They rely on commercial yeast to manipulate flavor and speed up fermentation, sacrificing quality.

Fact #3

They load their wines with sulfites to extend shelf life. These added sulfites cause hangovers.

Fact #4

They have to add sugar for flavor to make up for an unnatural and short fermentation process.

Fact #5

They use fining to filter their wines, stripping away character and taking away complexity.

Fact #6

They use yucky animal by-products like gelatin, fish bladder and bone marrow in production.

Fact #7

They use dangerous pesticides like weed killer in their vineyards and these pesticides end up in the wine.

Fact #8

They pollute with contaminated soil and water runoff that goes into waterways and negatively impacts nature.

Fact #9

They pay to get a wine score and if they get a high score, demand for their wine goes up and quality goes down.

Let's Talk About Sugar!

The industry skips the natural fermentation process by adding sugar instead of allowing natural flavor development

SYLTBAR

We do not add any sugar to our wines. This accounts for the lighter color as you can see in the photo above. SYLTBAR wines have just the right amount of sweetness because we use organic grapes and a natural wine making process. Because we use a double fermentation process, our wines are naturally very low in sugar.

Big Industry

The wine industry adds sugar to their wine to speed up production instead of allowing natural flavor development through a longer fermentation. Excess sugar can cause weight gain. And since they don't have to put a label on their wine, there is no way of knowing how much sugar or carbs are in the "big industry" wine.
