Want Sulfite Free Wine? . . .
There's No Such Thing as Sulfite Free Wine!
Candidly, Sulfite Free Wine is a misnomer. 100% sulfite
free wine would be an accident of nature since sulfites occur
normally in the wine-making process. Unfortunately, many wine
drinkers have been misled into thinking sulfite
free wine is an answer to some health related
conditions.
No Real Need for Sulfite Free Wine!
Sulfites pose almost no danger to 99.75% of
the population. Only some asthmatics are highly allergic to
sulfites, and should avoid anything containing them. People,
who are sulfite-sensitive can tolerate low levels of sulfites,
and need not be concerned with finding sulfite
free wine. In the absence of sulfite free wine, almost
everybody can enjoy the low sulfite wines with no side
effects.
Adding Sulfites to Wine Preserves Its
Natural Flavor!
Freshly pressed grape juice is
naturally prone to spoiling. To prevent this, European
winemakers pioneered using sulfites in wine-making 200 years
ago. Most viticulture experts today concur that some sulfites
must be added during the wine-making process to make
consistently stable wine. Added sulfites inhibit spoilage,
stop oxidation and safeguard wine's natural flavor. In
reality, sulfite free wine would likely be
undesirable for consumption.
Commercial winemakers can
legally add up to 350 ppm of sulfites to wine. Wines made with
organic grapes come as close to being sulfite
free wines as practical. Our French Wine Online wines are
not sulfite free wines; however they are typically produced
with 80% to 90% less sulfites than allowable in commercial
non-organic wines.
Federal law requires wine containing
10 ppm or more of total sulfites to state contains sulfites on
the label. This does not mean that a lack of this notice
implies sulfite free wine.
