Natural wines are produced with minimal human intervention.

Any food produced with minimal human intervention is peferrable to an overprocessed one. Why single out wine?

There is nothing natural about wine. It is 100% man made from the planting to the bottling. It goes very well with man made cheese and man made crusty bread.

My family used to make its own wine of course fully natural, no additives except small amounts of sulfites - it's easy in small batches but it's a very risky business in large volumes. The process can easily go out of hand - for example did you know that the type of the yeast naturally existing in the air at any given moment strongly depends on local temperatures and humidity? A few degrees off and I assure you the taste of the wine will be of too.

Yes, also very low sulfites wines will not travel well.
