More Fruit? Sultanas vs Raisins



I know what the difference between a Sultana and a Raisin is, but what is the difference between a golden Raisin and a Sultana?

Courtesy of the mighty Wikipedia -

"Golden raisins are dried grapes that have been treated with sulfur dioxide and flame-dried. They are a Californian attempt to replicate sultanas industrially, and use the same variety of grape, known in North America as Thompson Seedless."

So they are fake sultanas I guess, a bit like chemically produced diamonds and what not. Not as good as the real thing.
