Wine allergy...sulfites?!

lizziebeth1028

Does anyone out there have allergies to the sulfites found in wine? I do :sad: The odd thing is I don't always get a reaction...it's hit or miss. I love my wine:drinker: Does anyone know of a wine that's low in sulfites?

My doctor told me I was allergic to the yeast for processing....achoo!!!
So, I switched to Vodka!! 0 cals/0 fat!! :drinker:

I react to wine and most alcohols, my face turns redish and I get a minor rash. Fortunately my throat doesn't close, so I still drink once in a while. I believe it is an alcohol allergy, but I have never been tested. I never thought it could be sulfites. Sorry no help but you are not the only one.

Just FYI - Vodka isn't calories "free" - The USDA lists a 1 1/5-ounce shot of an 80-proof spirit -- which is 40% alcohol by volume -- like vodka at 64 calories.

You can get low/free from sulphite wines but at a guess it's not the kind of thing you'll find in your local supermarket I'm not allergic but it does play havoc with my asthma.

My face gets REAL red for about one or two glasses...by the third it's faded though. lol I heard it's an allergic reaction.

Red wine does that to me too with my asthma.

My sis is

but she can drink organic wine! It isn't necessarily sulfite free, but none are added
