"Most of the time it's an allergy to sulfites, which naturally occur in wine."

Bernkastler,

Shame on you. You must have known one of us would pounce on this sentence. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]

The only known and proven allergic reaction to sulfites is in the respiratory system mainly of asthmatics. All else is unproven and hearsay.

In fact, all those people who claim to be allergic to sulfites would have to have allergic reactions to packaged baked goods, some breads, some cheese and yogurt, beer and white wine over red, since there are generally more sulfites in white wine.
