Wines without SULFITES

[drdomm]

Interesting thread...my wife is also allergic to SULFA drugs...i.e. Bactrim which is a common antibiotic for urinary tract infections. She has no problem with SulFITE-containing wines. I don't know what the exact chemical structure of the sulfites in wine is. However, I do know that there are different types of "sulfa" drugs, each with different levels of immunological effects. I'd imagine the sulfites in wine have little in common with sulfa-drugs.

Ok, here's a link I looked up... http://www.uic.edu/pharmacy/services/di/sulfa.htm
