In this video, I want to talk about sulfites. Which has more sulfites, red or white wine? I’m not recommending wine on a keto diet, but some will drink wine occasionally. I’ve had questions about various symptoms that can occur when drinking wine.

Sulfites are naturally created when you ferment grapes, and they also preservatives that are added to wine to prevent it from turning into vinegar.

Certain people have a sensitivity to sulfites. This can cause:
• Hives
• Itchiness
• Flushed skin
• Dizziness

From least to most, here’s how much sulfites each wine has:
Red wine: 160 ppm
White wine: 210 ppm
Sweet wine: 400 ppm

As you can see, white wine has more sulfites than red wine, and sweet wine has more sulfites than dry wines.

If you experience headaches when drinking red wine, it’s often due to higher levels of tannins. Tannins are also in:
• Tea leaves
• Nuts with skin
• Dark chocolate
• Strawberries
• Coffee
• Pomegranates

Sulfites are also in dried fruit. In fact, dried fruit has 10x the amount of sulfites as red wine.

If you drink wine and experience a stuffy nose, this is likely due to the histamines found in wine. Histamines naturally occur in fermented foods.
