Sodium metabisulphite .... used to sterilise beers and wine.

It causes allergic reactions as well as worsens asthma if you suffer from this condition.

In general, there is more preservative in white wine than red wine, and more in cask wine than bottled wine. The amount of metabisulphite also varies from brand to brand. Some "low sulphite" wines are available, although those with extreme sensitivity may not be able to tolerate them, as sulphur powder is sometimes dusted over grapes in the weeks leading up to harvest . Other sources of metabisulphite include vinegar, pickled onions, dried fruit, or when dusted onto crustaceans and some restaurant salads or fruit salads. Even when people complain that wine triggers asthma, metabisulphite is not always the trigger.

Sulphite in Wines:
As a rule, sulphites are found at higher levels in the cask wine than bottled wine, and are at much higher concentrations in white wine than red wine, when natural tannins help preserve the beverage. Some winemakers produce wines and state that they do not add sulphites into the wine. There are various technical reasons related to winemaking why very low levels of sulphites might still be present, even when not added to the wine itself.

Others substances within wine may also cause problems to some unlucky individuals, but these are not well defined. Serious allergic reactions to beer or wine may occur Anaphylaxis has been described in patients with severe allergic reactions to proteins within grapes, yeast, hops, barley and wheat. These patients are not sensitive to alcohol itself.

Exactly. Thats why I had to give up wine making at home. Being asthmatic is a killer. Ask me all about it. I ended up in hospital.
