There is Arsenic in virtually anything grown, if you grow green beans in your garden, you are ingesting Arsenic.
Now, the level of Arsenic will make a difference, got a link to the lawsuit?

Lawsuit claims arsenic levels 'unsafe' in low-cost wines USA Today NetworkKassandra Lau, KING-TV, Seattle/Tacoma 10:47 a.m. EDT March 20, 2015 XXX RETIREMENT- HOW TO AVOID HOLIDAY WEIGHT GAIN002.JPG (Photo: Garik_Klimov, Getty Images/iStockphoto) 184 CONNECT 42 TWEET 1 LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MORE A class action lawsuit claims dozens of California wineries produced wine with dangerously high levels of arsenic. The lawsuit was filed Thursday in California Superior Court. It claims the 28 wineries knowingly violated California law by producing wine contaminated with arsenic and failing to inform consumers about the potential dangers. Testing was done at BeverageGrades in Denver. The lab tested 1,306 different types of wine and found 83 showed dangerously elevated levels of inorganic arsenic. Two additional labs confirmed the results. BeverageGrades listed the wines with the lowest levels of arsenic on its website. According to the lawsuit, some wines contained arsenic levels that exceeded the safe daily intake limit by 500 percent. Most of the wines listed in the lawsuit are low-cost white or blush varieties, including Moscato, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc. Popular brands named in the lawsuit include Franzia, Sutter Home, Wine Cube, Cupcake, Beringer and Vendage. A dollar amount isn't specified in the lawsuit. Instead the lawsuit seeks "injunctive relief, civic penalties, disgorgement and damages." The attorneys who filed the lawsuit also created a website for consumers at TaintedWine.com.

Ok, this puts it in a bit more scientific context. www.ksat.com/content/pns/ksat/news/2015/03/20/proposed-lawsuit-claims-some-wines-contain-high-levels-of-arseni.htmlBasically some Lawyers are mixing drinking water standards with Alcohol standards and coming up with the "500 percent" claim, ignoring the "poisonous" wines run about 1/2 the allowable European legal limits. I can not find a US limit published. Sorry, I'm not going to get excited, this looks to ba another case for the hanging of all Lawyers by their necks until room temperature has been achieved. |

The only alcoholic beverage I drink is Franzia Sunset Blush. I have drank it for years. I'm not dead yet. Thank God. It doesn't make me sick either.

Isn't that a light wine w/ a bit of carbonation, Blue? No, there are many kinds, but they're not carbonated. They're fruity, made im Germany (a good one is)and have traces of minerals in them, from where they're grown & the cool temps, including "late-bloomers" The one on the left is my fav., although I've tried many diff. kinds. littlegerman.com/tasting-notes.htmlMy 1st taste of a German wine was made by Weber, imported by Monsieur Henri Wine Co., ironically from New Orleans, La. The one I like/ed is Moselblumchen Deutscher Tafelwein Mosel (90% alcohol by volume)which I have, but don't drink as often any more. Obviously I have a bottle.  A little info on some GW wines: Weißer Riesling (Welschriesling, Klingelberger) Weber Riesling (Welschriesling, Klingelberger) Origin: From Rhenish wild vine that existed already 650.000 BC. Cultivated by the Romans. Most cultivated type of vine in Germany with 1/3 of the total wine-growing area. Vine: Dark green, strong leaves. The grapes ripen late and therefore the quality strongly depends on the vintage. In good years exclusive and exquisite high-quality wines from selected berries or Eiswein (sweet wine made from grapes which have been exposed to frost) can be produced. Wine character: Golden-yellow color with green reflections. Fruity-fresh and with delicate acid the riesling became the major German white wine. The riesling wines are internationally greatly valued. Classically good with shrimps, prawns and salmon as hors d'œuvre or trouts, shell animals, chicken, or pork as main dish. For dessert as late high-quality wine with remaining sweetness.
