Imported wine has to contain sulphur oxide to be allowed to enter the US. European wine gets better every year, with some bottles, like some of the 1959 harvest selling for $3000 and more. If European wine matures that good, why does American wine gets worse with time. Like American brewed beer, it has to be consumes within a certain time to keep it's taste. Now, if anybody knows why the FDA requires additional , chemical preservatives in wine and beer, then I wonder why it has to be consumed as soon as possible to retain it's quality. Why ???
