Answers: it's a preservative - which quite commonly causes reactions in people
220 id the INS number for sulphur dioxide Source(s):
http://www.grokfood.com/ins/220.htm... 220 (aka E220) is the code for sulfites. Whether or not the label says 220 the wine will contain sulfites, since all wines do.
Wines sold in the USA and from 2006 in the EU need the statement that the wine contains sulfites
Sulfur has been used as a preservative and sterilizer since antiquity, and it is also produced naturally as a by product of fermentation.
Unless less you suffer from asthma you are most unlikely to get any reaction from sufites in wine.
