Do I really need to use the meta bisulphite?
Some people believe that they are allergic to sulphites, and want to leave them out of their kits. True sulphite allergies are rare, and if someone has a reaction to drinking wine, it’s usually due to some other cause such as a reaction to the tannins in red wine. Of course excessive consumption can cause undesirable effects too. During fermentation the yeast makes sulphites so no wine can ever be sulphite-free, no matter what. Sulphite is there to help prevent oxidation and spoilage. You should stay away if you are truly sensitive to it, but ask your medical experts before you eliminate it from your winemaking.
