There is no such thing.
All wines contain sulfites - it is a natural by product of fermentation.
Many people in North America blame various problems they experience when drinking wine on sulfites. Few people in Europe do. The only difference in the wines is that wine in America have a 'warning' about sulfites on the label.
Sulfites are also added during the winemaking process. "All wine contain sulfites in some form as it is a by product of fermentation. It’s been indispensable in winemaking since antiquity as a disinfectant and preservative, killing bacteria and wild yeasts, and it encourages fermentation and assists colour and flavour extraction. Without use of sulfites, wine would at risk of damage from bacteria, wild yeast and oxidation.
Sulfites are also present in fruit juices, bread and dried fruits – where the US legal limit is 2000 ppm - and many processed foods. The amount in wine is usually between 20-50 ppm. A sulfite free wine would be unstable
All wines sold in the US must state they contain sulfites when there’s more the 10 parts per million (ppm). Additives must be listed in some other countries including Australia where 220 is the code for sulphur dioxide (E220 in Europe). "
Unless you suffer from asthma or suffer similar reactions from dried fruits or fruit juices it is probable sulfites are not the problem. It could well be histamines.
Certified organic wines use few sulfites, and there are a very few do not use any added sulfur.
Suggest you look for certified organic wines and then ask the winery. Wish you every success

some one tells you there is no such thing they are either lying or are not familliar with the facts. Yes you can purchase sulfate free wine. I get mine at a place called the whole food store. It is a true organic wine and very delicious. Look in your local health food dealers markets and online to possibly look for a whole food store in your area, maybe called something different there. But yes you can purchase sulfate free organic wine I have
