Based on what mIEKAL says about sugar [and I assume he means white table
sugar] it could be the reason organic wine has less bad effects
than conventional wine may be not only the lack of metabisulfites, but
that they didn't use sugar to get the ferment going or to push the alcohol
content higher.  When someone offers me conventional wine now, I generally
turn it down - it just isn't worth the risk.  Mondavi brand wine from
california is one of the offenders, truly allergic stuff to me.  Some
brands are fine.  Since organic wines can't always be obtained, it
would be great if there was a website where people counted reports of allergic
symptoms from various brands.
Been planning to obtain 60 to 100 lbs of wine grapes to freeze for
juice.  Busy freezing tomatoes this morning.  Swenson Red is
heaviest bearing here this year, tasty but not supreme [but perhaps not
fully ripe yet].
