Maybe someone can answer more conclusively at a later date. I have a moderate sulfite sensitivity that leads to an itchy rash/mild hives within a few hours if I drink normal wines. I am drinking my third glass of 3-year-old Gekkeikan Plum Wine (over the course of two days) with no noticeably adverse effects yet. The bottle's label shows no indication of sulfite content, but it is circa 2007 and imported so it may not have been subject to the same FDA laws requiring labels to state sulfite contents.
Gekkeikan Sake is sulfite-free, but a web search did not reveal if the same is true about the Plum Wine variety of alcoholic beverage.
As it is true that Gekkeikan Sake is Sulfite free, However Gekkeikan Sake Kobai Plum wine that is produced in Folsom CA; is a white wine base with plum flavoring added to it. If you would like a Plum wine that is sulfite free, we recommend our import plum wine. Our import plum is made with the Japanese Ume plum and has been aged for 3 years before bottling. If you have any further questions please feel free to call 916-985-3111 or email us @ info@gekkeikan-sake.com. Thank again for your inquiry. Gekkeikan Sake
citric acid - no, wine.
If refrigerated 2-4 weeks depending on how many times the bottle is opened. With each exposure to air 21 % oxygen this will increase oxidation. Not good with a wine withe the sugar content of plum wine. dr Dr.Nurse

Yes, most sherries contain sulfites. Sulfites are commonly used in winemaking as a preservative to prevent spoilage and oxidation. It is a naturally occurring byproduct of fermentation, and it can also be added in small amounts during production.
As far as I know, the beverage that contains a lot of sulfites (sulphites) is wine where as beer or other distilled spirits or liqueurs will have less that that. Even if it did, in some countries if it passes a certain threshold, the manufacturer will be legally required to label "contains sulfites" on the container.
Yes because champagne is made from grapes the same as wine. Wine, white and red, has naturally occurring sulfites as well as sulphites added to stabilize it. Champagne is likely to have as many sulphites as white wine. Red wine has fewer sulphites than white wine. Dry wines have fewer sulphites than sweeter wines and champagnes.
Most amarettos are made from either apricot kernels or almonds steeped in Brandy, it is considered an "Italian Brandy." Brandy is traditionally made from grapes (among other fruits), grapes are used to make wine which contains a lot of sulfites (>30/40 ppm) whereas beer only contains minimal sulfites (~5 ppm). So, yes, amaretto does contain sulfites.
Yes.
A margarita typically does contain sulfites, though in varying amounts depending on the ingredients used. Sulfites are commonly found in: Tequila: Some tequilas contain sulfites, either naturally occurring or added as a preservative. Triple Sec/Cointreau: These liqueurs may contain sulfites as preservatives. Lime Juice: Fresh lime juice has minimal sulfites, but bottled lime juice often contains added sulfites for preservation.
No, sulfites are minerals and do not evaporate like alcohol. It's possible they may interact with other ingredients and change their chemical make up, but they don't go away.
