I need to find the brand name(s) of a red wine that does not have
sulphur in it . . . by New Years.

Someone told me that you can't make red wine without sulphur, that
it's only the white wines that can be made without sulphur.  

Time is of the essence, as they say.

Please help, thanks.

Howdy-hi, TS.

Thanks for accepting my suggestion as your answer. I've reposted the
link below, with a bit of additional info.

Coturri Natural Wines: Order Form

"Coturri Winery never uses grapes that have been treated with
pesticides, fungicides, or herbicides. The Coturri Winery Estate
Vineyards are certified by the CCOF.  No SO2 - no inoculation with
sulfites, yeast cultures, no use of concentrates to boost sweetness,
no added water, acids, or other manipulation of the wine."

Sulfur dioxide (SO2) and other sulfiting agents are often added to
wines. They function as preservatives. SO2 is categorized as an
"unclassifiable carcinogen," and may cause respiratory distress and/or
headaches in those who are sensitive to it.

More on SO2:

This page may be helpful. Several of these wines say "no sulfites added":

Google search strategy:

Google Web Search: so2 OR "sulfur dioxide" wine

I hope this helps!

Best,

Coturri wines are unsulfured. Their merlot is delicious, and they
offer other red wines:

Hi Pink!

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for!   They look like a fun group. 
Anyone who is known as the "Eddie Van Halen of the wine world" has got

Won't you please post this as an answer?
