Red Wine and foot pain

[Thomas]

This habit of blaming sulfites for every malady a wine drinker contracts really has me crazy. And it seems no matter how many times we on this board, and elsewhere, relate the truth about the effect of sulfites in wine, few listen or accept our information.

In my wine class for novices last week a trained nurse claimed sulfites gave her headaches (and only when she drank red wine). I had to repeat four times that it likely is not the sulfites before she would relent.
