'I just wanted to say a big thank you to you. I suffer from sulphite intolerance (mainly severe muscular pain) and have found your wines are completely problem free for me. I'm on my second case and have rediscovered the joys of wine drinking!'Brian HGood news, the joy of having a glass of wine has returned. It was a lovely wine. The skin on my tongue and lips did not come off and I didn't stop breathing and no sore throat. I must admit I was really scared. I just put a little on my lips at first to see if there was going to be a problem. It was really great to have a drink. Thanks for your help John it was much appreciated.HazelCheck out a review on a customer's blog too. Greg has a sulphite intolerance and he too was delighted when he discovered he could safely drink our low sulphite wines Legal Disclaimer Feel ill after wine? Well don’t despair, it may not be the wine! You have all the symptoms of a sulphite intolerance and there may be a solution to get back to drinking wine again. Our Story As you can imagine this was unbearable to Jane. She thought she would have to stop drinking wine. In fact the draught lager incident nearly killed her as she struggled to breathe and this understandably made her panic which exacerbated the situation. Fortunately my sister, a high level nurse, was present and she was able to avert disaster. This made Jane all the more determined to find out what was wrong with her. She was referred to specialists for allergy tests. This went on for a couple of years without making any progress. However, having learnt to control her breathing when struck by this shortage of breath, Jane was experimenting with drinking small quantities of various drinks. Having discussed the problem with friends we found that a lot of them, especially the girls, were having similar problems to a lesser extent. The Problem Sulphites occur naturally in the grape skin, in tiny traces, so all wine must have it on the label. However many of the factory produced wines have extra sulphites added and there’s no guide on the label how much sulphite a wine contains. By law a wine can contain up to 350 parts per million of sulphites, but a good wine usually contains less than 40 ppm. Therefore a cheap factory produced wine can easily contain 10 times more sulphites than a good wine! The Answer Virtually every recommended wine on our list is fine for Jane to drink. She has a very mild reaction to one or two and we mention this in the description, but for all the others Jane has no reaction whatsoever. This doesn’t guarantee that it will be safe for anyone else, but if you suffer from the same symptoms, it could be worth trying one or two of these wines to see how you get on. We've had great success recommending our wines to various people with sulphite intolerances, and they're delighted to be able to drink wine again. Of course you don’t have to buy the wine from us, although we're the only site I'm aware of who specialise in low sulphite wines. You’ll find good wines with very low chemical content elsewhere, but it may take some time and effort. I recommend going for smaller producers, preferably family owned vineyards and wineries, steer well clear of any factory brand and don’t go for the very cheap wines. To make them at this price they’re almost certainly factory produced and pumped full of a chemical solution as it's cheaper than grape juice! And if you’re not used to drinking wine, take it easy. Too much in one hit when you’re not used to it can make you violently ill anyway so start slowly and build up gradually. Good luck, take it easy and hope this works for you.
