  Like many other substances, sulfites are harmful to people who are allergic to them. That's why for foods and beverages that contain sulfites indication thereof on the label is required by law.

  I am curious to know about the exact effect of sulfites on the human body. The other responses are appreciated and enlightening, yet I still do not know what they do/ enable my body to do to itself? Please help if you can. Cheers!

    I'm not sure if it's sulfites or what, but I'm allergic to some wines. California reds. No problems with Aussies or French reds. Those Californians turn me red as a beet.

  I have read that the small amount of sulfites will affect only a very small number of people. I have also read that it is virtually impossible to produce good sulfite free / organic wine.

  Unless you are a hardcore healthfood type, I wouldn't give it a second thought.

    I'm certainly not a healthy person, I'm just curious as to what their effect is...

    ( I drink a lot of wine... )
