2 EU ALLERGEN WINE ADVICE WHITE WINES 175ml 250ml POURING WINES Under recent EU legislation we are required to inform you of food and drink we sell that has a sulphur dioxide (sulphites, SO 2 ) content above 10mg per kilo or litre. Sulphites are present in almost all wines, as a preservative. It is used in winemaking (and indeed most food industries), because of its antioxidant and antibacterial properties. SO 2 plays a very important role in maintaining a wine s freshness. Without it, most wines would not keep. We have checked our wine list and the labels, and all except the Cazes muscat wines state that sulphites are present, as they must be above 10mg levels. Organic wines usually have no added sulphur dioxide, but it is created naturally anyway in the fermentation process. The actual amounts in each bottle we don t know, but as a guide the average is about 80mg/litre. Red wines need less sulphites, and an average of about 50mg is likely. White wines more, around 120mg, and sweet white wines especially, with up to 350mg per litre. But see this in context. Other foodstuffs can contain larger amounts of sulphites, especially dried fruits, like raisins and sultanas, which have a 1,000mg/kilo level. And there is no medical research data showing that sulphites cause headaches, which some believe. However, severe asthma sufferers in particular must be careful.
