Yesterday

A glass of red which I usually avoid because it gives me a whopping headache but I realised that’s probably the sulphites and as this ones ‘no added sulphites’ I’m risking it!

In common with a lot of organic no added sulphite wine it really benefits from having a long time to breath before consuming.
Really enjoying this forbidden fruit!

Looks superb but maybe a tad difficult to drink?

It's probably not sulfates, but histamines. Take an antihistamine at bedtime. (We had to study that stuff in wine school)

Tried that every time I drank wine thinking it would help but it doesn’t touch it.
It is a sulphite intolerance. I cut out all added sulphites about two weeks ago but obviously gave myself a pass for Christmas, they give a fast and obvious reaction, even to the sausage sandwich I ate.
Disappointing really as they’re added to an absurd amount of things I like.

No headache, rosacea blisters, sneezing or shortness of breath to report.

Looks like organic no added sulphite wine is IN!
