The truth about sulfites in wine
The truth about sulfites in wine
Apr 3, 2013 6(RDR) - This is the time of year when people tell me, as they return from their European vacations, that they drank bottle after bottle of wine with their meals and "never got a headache." They explain this miracle by saying that wines in Europe "do not contain sulfites," unlike wines sold in the U.S., the labels of which clearly state "Contains sulfites."
Because wine bottle labels in Europe do not print "Contains sulfites," the assumption is that the wine does not as well. But it does; the label merely does not state that it does. "Contains sulfites" is on all bottles of wine sold in the United States, no matter where the wine was made, because of our government's regulations, rules that do not hold outside the U.S.
