Sulfites and History
Maybe a silly question
OK, I understand that sulfites have been used throughout history in wine making but I have been curious as to how they did it. We have access to purified refined versions of sulfites that are ancestors did not. Now sulfur wicks and candles in barrels I can understand but meta bisulfites? How would great great great grandpa Joe do it it the old country? Or go back further how about the greeks? Who's the resident chemical /historian? Tom |
