Last month when buying the vinegar for Sekanjabin or Persian mint drink, ok it
wasn't mint but ginger but I digress, I looked for red win vinegar and all the
samples I found stated they contained sulfites. I elected to go with the
distilled white instead solely on it's non-sulfite nature. I wasn't sure how I
would let potentially hundreds of people know at an University session day
board that the ginger drink _might_ contain sulfites and might be harmful for
someone.
