“Contains sulfites” is a fairly off-putting statement on a bottle of wine that you hope to enjoy with a meal, gift to a friend, or share with a loved one. Um, you mean, there’s chemicals in here? So, are they bad for me—is that why wine sometimes gives me headaches? And can wine be made without these sulfites? First of all, it’s important to point out that what’s on the label is simply letting you know that naturally occurring sulfites occur, in every single bottle of wine.
