Is there any downside in wine consumption related to the sulfites added to most red wines? From more than one close associate, red wine and other foods that have sulfites as a preservative ---act as an inflamatory agent for arthritis.

Zeev, """Is there any downside in wine consumption related to the sulfites added to most red wines?""" Sulfites occur naturally in wine. The amount is considered insignificant and is not required to be noted on the label anywhere but the USA. Many tourists in the wine producing countries marvel at the taste of wine without sulfites thinking it is absent because it's not on the label. In fact, the best wines are shipped to the largest wine market in the world with "contains sulfites" added to the label. The wines of lesser taste and value are served locally. Some people may be allergic to the trace amount of sulfites in wine but then again, someone is allergic to everything. Anti-alcohol groups pushed to have the sulfite warning added to the label but it has always been there. Just one more example of government intervention with meaningless regulations. cdaisey@raise-a-glass.com
