Your Guide to Navigating Italian Wine Bars with Sulfite Sensitivity

Dining at an Italian wine bar should feel like a celebration—until sulfite sensitivity turns your aperitivo into anxiety. For those sensitive to sulfites (common preservatives in wine and processed foods), navigating menus filled with cured meats, dried fruits, and vino can be daunting. But fear not: technology is here to transform your experience.

Why Sulfites Hide in Plain Sight
Italian wine bars showcase delights like salumi platters, marinated olives, and aged cheeses—all potential sulfite hotspots. Even wines (especially whites and sweet varieties) often contain added sulfites. Asking staff about ingredients might not be reliable due to language barriers or kitchen complexity.
