Doubtful that sulfites are your problem

Posted by triodesteve on January 12, 2006 at 19:21:08:
There is usually more sulfur in white wines than in reds. One reason sulites are added to wine is to prevent oxidation...more of an issue with whites than reds.
You also add sulfites to wine to protect them from microbioligical disaster! There are a few wines out there without sulfites..look for organic wines as a starting point...although you need to read the label...wines can be made from organic grapes and still be made with sulfites.
If you do a search for histimines and wine, you'll find some info on what is most probably your issue.
Try a rose'..minimal skin contact...less histimines from fermentation. If that works out ok, try Pinot Noir...thin skins and maybe less histimines?
Enjoy,
Steve
