Organic Wine

[Jerry D Mead]

Re sulfites...interestingly, white wines (which don't usually cause people problems) generally speaking have higher sulfite levels than red wines...because sulfite is used as an anti-oxidant and whites need that more than reds.

No one measures histamine content to my knowledge. A doctor of my acquaintance recommends trying a non-drowsy anti-histamine just before going to a dinner where one expects red wine to be served.

One generally hears more complaints about young reds than old ones...so you might try serving 10-20 year old Cabernets or Bordeaux to your sensative friends.
