Sulfite allergy

I have become allergic to sulfites. Ugh!! Any suggestions about
making wine without using sulfites? Using chlorine, for example.

I'm no expert on sulfite free winemaking, but a few ideas that pop to
mind...
Use a good non-sulfite sanitizer on everything. I like Star San, since it is
fast acting, does not require rinsing, and keeps well in solution. Iodophor
and bleach are other options.
Keep your pH levels down by whatever means you can.
Avoid oxidative handling. Rack carefully with no splashing, or use an inert
gas blanket.
