  Hey Matt. This is a great site and I enjoy visiting. Question for you about sulphites in red wine. I enjoy merlot but like many people have a sensitivity to heavy preservatives/sulphites. I’ve been choosing mostly a general dinner wine, Italian (Bolla) because I have less of a reaction headache-wise following a few glasses. Do you have recommendations (either white or red) for wine lovers that contain less sulphites? Jan

  Hey thanks! Yes, I have many suggestions for less sulphates. I actually rarely drink merlot. Try Pinot Noir, Malbec and Grenache. They are lighter and easier drinking with less sulphates. Also, most of the headaches probably due to dehydration more than the sulphates. Drink lots of water and your headaches will probably be gone.
