My understanding is that it's relatively common. You commonly find sulphites as preservatives in wines (more of it in whites: reds get some protection from the tannins). A family member is slightly allergic, and drinking wine with sulphites will set him off sneezing.
- justin66 14y agoI recall reading on Felix Salmon's blog that organic, no-sulfite wines are a comparative bargain because there's an inaccurate perception among wine people that they cannot be as good. Some wineries will actually get the relevant eco-friendly certifications without noting it on the bottle, the perception of lesser quality is so prevalent. In the wine instance the buyer who needs to avoid sulfites is in a good position. I've noticed with other foodstuffs that this isn't true, and I'm sure that is because those perishable products can't survive on the shelves quite as long as their sulfited (?) brethren.
