I suppose I could try an occasional bottle, giving it time to see if it has the allergic reaction or not, and then make a point of going with that winery. That's a good idea. I like white and red both, but prefer red, though in summertime with the heat a cool glass of white or a white zinfandel with a meal is wonderful.

I haven't had hard cider before so I read a few labels and brought home some last night to give a try. Finding suitable alternatives is part of the process. Thanks for the wine sulfite thread, Jack. I agree, continuing on a thread where someone has asked for advice in quitting was counter-productive!
