A<\/a>ccording to a recent class action lawsuit filed in March 2015, several wines contain 500% or more arsenic than the amount allowed in drinking water.<\/p>\nSeveral winery representatives from the 28 wineries in the suit claim that allowing more arsenic in wine makes sense, because \u201cpeople drink more water than wine\u2026 and water is the only beverage with an arsenic baseline that is monitored by the government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The wines were tested by Kevin Hicks, a former wine distributor who started a wine testing lab in Denver, known as BeverageGrades. Of the 1,300 California wines tested,<\/span> around 1\/4 of the bottles showed arsenic levels higher than the EPA\u2019s allowable water level. The cheaper the wines, the higher the arsenic levels.<\/span><\/p>\nIf you buy your wine from a health food store, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re safe from high arsenic levels. Trader Joe\u2019s Charles Shaw or \u201cTwo-Buck Chuck\u201d made the list. Read below to see whatother wines made the dangerous list.<\/p>\n
