sulfites

Welcome back to Kim's corner!  This month I want to talk about Sulfites in wine. Many people believe that they can’t enjoy wine for fear of headaches caused by wine. Sulfites are misunderstood. Let’s talk about why!

Do all wines contain sulfites? 

Yes, because grapes naturally have sulfites within their skins (as do other plants like onions and garlic) and because sulfites are a natural by-product of fermentation. 

Some wines may contain more sulfites than others due to added sulfites for preservation.
