Hmm good question! I haven't had a glass since doing the cleanse, and being raw, I could only drink raw organic wine, which probably (?) wouldn't have sulfites in it? Your ankles swell up?? That's fascinating. Does anything else cause your ankles to swell? White flour always made mine swell - they looked like elephant feet - it was so horrible! Now my ankles and slim and sexy again ;)
After my sulfur dioxide incident I looked it up on the web to see exactly what it was - it's a gas and it's poisonous...geez, no wonder I had a reaction to it.
