Wine sulfite removal drops are everywhere, They promise to eliminate headaches and hangovers with a few drops.

But do they actually work?

These products contain food-grade hydrogen peroxide that chemically converts sulfites into sulfates through oxidation. UC Davis research shows a quarter teaspoon of 3% hydrogen peroxide can neutralize free sulfites in a typical wine bottle.

So yes, they do legitimately reduce sulfites by 30-50% through legitimate.

Only about 1% of people have genuine sulfite sensitivity, mostly those with asthma. For everyone else, hangovers come from alcohol dehydration, acetaldehyde buildup, histamines, tannins, or one of the 72 other additives allowed in American wine.

Outside of the Placebo Effect, the "hangover be gone" claim is misleading marketing for 99% of wine drinkers.

I don't think you need to be paying premium prices for stabilized hydrogen peroxide to solve a problem you probably don't have.

Better hangover prevention: drink water, eat food, moderate alcohol intake and drink Low Intervention Wine.

I can attest to this. I don't get headaches anymore using this approach. And I have a migraine disorder that is easy to trigger as it is.

So these drops world?

Work*

I meant using your advice.

Hell yeah 💪

Sulfites give me instant headaches. The same happens when I eat grapes sprayed with sulfur dioxide, which triggers a terrible, nauseating headache.

Do you eat dried fruit often?

No

🔥🍷

From my experience to avoid a hangover do:

a. Drink high quality wine.

b. Drink aged wine.

Aged wine and high quality wine overlap quite a bit there

Hydrogen peroxide is a miracle cure. Can use it to fight off cancer, parasites, and to promote general good health.

Have you tried it in wine?

Never even considered, but may try it.

Don’t drink wine 😅

My sources are saying this is wrong
