Are you talking cooked or pasteurized? Pasteurization is very expensive and few wineries can do it. It requires heating and cooling the wine to prevent it from fermenting. you can figure most wine kits and juice pails have gone through this process. Additionally I can tell you there are other places the sell fresh juice year round that eventually need to do the same thing. The process is not always a good thing and leads to oxidation.

Well it's heated but not really cooked and apparently not enough to totally kill the wild yeast. Delicious as juice and maybe a little too sweet. Juice tends to get fizzy after opening a half gallon of juice. After a week or so. So pastuerized us probably not the correct term.
Makes sense regarding kits though.
Thanks.
