I'm a little bit confused here with this discussion on sulfites. Sulfites
have little to do with Organic Wine?

Sulfites are a natural substance and have been used for ages. Sure there
are negative side effects from over (and under) use and this is why there
are regulations for their use.

Shouldn't the real discussion over Organic Wines focus on the residual
chemicals in the wines left by the deadly pesticides generously used during
the growing season, cleaning agents and other chemicals used during wine
making?

- It is common knowledge that certain pesticides used near the time of
harvest impede fermentation
- I suspect that headaches brought on by drinking wine are caused by several
factros: sulfites, histamines and by other residual chemicals in the wine
