As a former winemaker, most of us small boutique winemakers scratched our head when we saw Natural Wines (which means nothing) pop up on the market. It's a meaningless term than embodies nothing. Most of us were already making wine like that (natural yeasts, no additives except sulfites). Of course these are expensive wines. You will have to pay for wines like this. They are not supermarket wines but not the term has been highjacked by BIg Wine because it means nothing and there is no enforcement mechanism.
