do you know names of any sulfite free wines??

Question

i might be allergic to sulfite in the wines and so i was wondering if you know some names which dont have sulfite in them..thank u!

Answer 1

Unless you are a severe asthmatic it is certain that you are not allergic to sulfite in wine.

Sulphites can affect fewer than 1 in a million asthmatics, which is why the warning is on the label. However higher levels of sulfites are present in fruit juices, dried fruits; in fact there is a huge range of food products that contain sulphites including eggs.

It is more likely that the problem is histamines that are present in some wines.

Sulifites occur naturally as a result of the wine making process, and even wines that say they do not add them will contain sulfites.

However, organic winery Frey Vineyards have tested their wines and have some that that they say contains no detectable sulfites -- see http://www.freywine.com/freywine/wine-list.html

Answer 2

The one red wine that I know is sulfite free and organic is called Well Read. Hope this helps.

Article from the link below

Organic vineyards are not necessarily "tidy" in the conventional sense with "spreadsheet" rows of vines devoid of all interior plant or animal life except the prized vine. However, they are beautiful - a stunning display of nature's innate system of checks and balance, cover crops, bugs, bees, birds, bats and the like checking in on vine-destroying insects and weeds - helping to balance their formidable populations to give rise to a vine that can thrive. Organic wines area true ecosystem gem.
With grapes topping the list of the most chemically "sprayed" (with insecticides, herbicides, fungicides and other nastey "cides") categories of produce on the market today, it is no wonder that many are seeking an organic alternative to their conventional wines.

Tides are certainly turning as more vintners are discovering that the common-sense approach to both organic and biodynamic growing methods, results in not only "healthier" vines, but in wines with greater flavor, more distinct terroir character and at times a noticeable cost-savings on their bottom line.

Answer 5

The above Answerer confuses organic with no sulphites. a minute amount of sulphites occurs naturally in the winemaking process, whether it is organic or not. A few wines will have their sulphites filtered out before bottling, but they tend to spoil quickly. Ask your local best wine merchant which he/she sells, if any.
