If any winemaker tells you that their process is sanitary, they're lying to you. Grapes grow in a field, there's bugs on them when they're harvested. It's impossible to keep fruit flies away from the action.

I do this by hand so it's certainly worse for me than if I had industrial equipment processing everything but it's still impossible.

Yes, you can sterilize the juice after you get it out of the grapes, but there's still gonna be a tiny bit of bug juice in there.
