I recently purchased a bottle of Hafner Kosher Wine (Queen Esther - 2002),
and on the front label the word "organic" appears (in double-quotes!). I
couldn't find anything about this on their website or in searches of
newsgroup archives. Can anyone provide any information about this?

Which website did you look at? There are two different Hafner Wines:
one in Sonoma and one in Austria. The Austrian one is Kosher is say
stuff about being organic. Google on: hafner kosher wine.

Alcohol? How about sulphur, tannins, flavonoids and a myriad other organic
substances possibly present in wines that may prove unhealthy to certain
individuals allergic to any of these? Admittedly a minuscule minority
compared to those with alcohol problems...
An entirely different question is whether these so called organically grown
wines do contain less of such potentially (for the very few unlucky people)
hazardous substances? I have some doubts as to there being any real
difference...

Of course.

No.

There's no difference, be they grown normal, organic or
produced kosher.

The only difference is for wines labelled "organic wine" in the
US: They have no sulfites added (and therefore are extremely
rare). What we call organic (or biological) wine here in Europe
must be labelled "wine made from organically grown grapes" in the
US.
