What are sulfites, and should I be worried?
Sulfur dioxide is added to wine to help control microbiological activity. Without it wine is nasty tasting (Try Organic Wine Works Wines). A certain amount of sulfites are also naturally present, as they are in most fruits. To be fair it is Free Sulfites, rather than sulfites in general, that bother a very tiny portion of the population. Free sulfites are very low in wine. In fact orange juice, salad bars and dried fruits each contain many more parts per million of sulfites than wine does. Sulfite sensitivity is very rare, if you think you suffer from this, contact your doctor.
