Many people are allergic to the sulfites in wine. Because sulfites are a natural byproduct of yeast, they exist in all wine, but some wine have more sulfite in them than others.
Organic Red Wine
Organic wine tends to have less sulfites than regular wine, and it is healthier in other ways – no pesticides for example. Organic products are much better for the environment and your body, so we strongly encourage them.

A friend had an allergic reaction after a glass of wine. Are there some wines that are sulpher free?
low-sulfite wines
There are some wines with low sulfites. I doubt you’ll find any that are completely sulfite-free, because the yeast used to ferment the wine produces some sulfites.
Finding wines that are low in sulfites takes considerable research, which I may get a chance to do one of these days.
