Three Common Myths About Sulfites and Wine Following is a brief overview of maximum amounts of sulfites allowed in different classes of wines. Sulfites are measured in parts per million, or ppm. ![]() It is these free, reactive molecules that can be smelled and tasted and react with sinus tissues to cause a sulfite reaction. Any added sulfite that does not react with the wine remains "free". Once bound, sulfites can’t be tasted or smelled, except at high levels. They can be added at the crusher when the fruit enters the production stream and after primary alcoholic fermentation, final levels are adjusted before bottling.ĭue to the reactive nature of free sulfites, most join with other substances in the wine, becoming “bound” sulfites. They are commonly used at several stages in the winemaking process. Sulfites are added to wine in the form of sulfur salts, SO2 gas or sulfur dioxide solutions. Synthetic sulfites added to wine are used as a mild antioxidant preservative and stabilizer. Small amounts of naturally occurring sulfites are present in wine and other foods. Sulfur is abundant in all life forms and takes many forms in living organisms. In over 30 years of organic wine making, we have never added sulfites or other synthetic additives to our wines. They are not allowed in organic wine or any other certified organic food products, such as dried fruits, jams, salad dressings or juices. Under the USDA National Organic Program, sulfites are a synthetic food additive. Organic Wine is wine without added sulfites. Footer Menu Link TOP Frey Organic Wines No Sulfites Added ![]()
