Sulfites are sulfur-based compounds. They stop wine from turning into vinegar. They also smell like a burnt match if you get too close. Fun fact: your body actually produces sulfites naturally. Yep, you’re a walking sulfite factory.
But some people get headaches. Or stuffy noses. Or weird tingles. Is it the sulfites? Maybe. Probably not. But that doesn’t stop the myth. And it doesn’t stop the quest to remove them. Because why not?
