Preservative Free Wines, A Healthier way of Drinking Wine

Preservative free wines are becoming more and more noticed within the drinking community. They are quickly gaining popularity within the industry from many wine drinkers as the overall drink is much healthier for your body.

Also known as sulphite free wines they are classed as wines with a low count of sulphite or none at all.

Having a low count in sulphite can make it a much better beverage to drink in terms of personal health. There are various advantages to drinking Natural and Low sulphite wines. When some people first hear of these two different terms, they probably think that they will taste very different and won't have any effect on them.

However, this is not quite correct as there have been many drinkers who have sampled low sulphite
So why are Sulphites added to food and drink?
Sulphites don't actually pose any threat towards the human body itself because they are only harmful when a person is sulphite intolerant. Sulphite is actually a natural occurrence within a number of food items, this actually includes wine. So wine manufacturers don't actually add Sulphite into their wine products as it is naturally made through the different processes.

To those of you who are now thinking that Sulphites are pointless and they should try and be removed, it does actually have its advantages. Sulphite gradually helps stop bacteria growth on food. It improves the taste of the food overall, but due to the allergic reactions that can occur for some people, the food manufacturers must state clearly on the label whether or not the food product has sulphite within it. It is measured with its only little method which reads ppm. This stands for parts per million. If a food has a concentration of less that 10ppm, they are considered to be safe to even the most sensitive of sulphite sufferers.
