Organic is referring to whether or not they use pesticides or any other chemicals in the process of making wine. Many commercial wines have pesticides. In order to label it organic wine makers cannot use pesticides, this helps health conscious people like myself avoid pesticides and other harmful substances.

Both are good for you but hops in beer raises estrogen and lowers testosterone. So if you're trying to lose fat and gain muscle beer isn't so good for that. On the other hand wine has been shown to have aromatase inhibitors which inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone to estrogen. This action raises testosterone and lowers estrogen. Whether or not the aromatase inhibitors in the wine counter the estrogen raising effects of alcohol I'm not sure. Beer tastes better but I like both
