I might seem that way to you because you are either on or off of your meds (which ever is not usual).

Who ~~knows~~ with government regulations if they are required to put it on there.

Who cares? They probably aren't. And if you are so worried that "they" are poisoning you, why don't you make your own wine? i do it. it is easy and it tastes pretty good, but I'll tell you that ciphoning a halk inch of dead yeast husks is not the most sanitary thing i've ever done...

"Why don't you find a bottle and figure it out? I've never noticed "Pasteurized" on my bottles. i've made mead (I still have some) and the only thing you need is yeast and a ciphon (and some honey)."

There's a lot of cheek in that response. Who knows with government regulations if they are required to put it on there.

"I believe you would have more luck in a wine forum."

but the wine forum people won't talk about the politics of wine pasteurization.

@andris wikipedia is almost useless for hot topics.

Or on Wikipedia:

The first pasteurization test was completed by Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard in April 1862. They "tested a process of thermal treatment to prevent decomposition of urine and blood."^[3] The process was originally conceived as a way of preventing wine and beer from souring.^[4] It would be many years before milk was pasteurized. In the United States in the 1870s, it was common for milk to contain contaminants to mask spoilage before milk was regulated.

Well, maybe not.
