Is aperitif high in sulfites?

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for aperitif

Aperitif is an umbrella rather than a single drink: vermouth, Lillet, quinquina, amari and the various bitter pre dinner pours all sit under it. What unites them for trigger purposes is a shared construction. Most are aromatised fortified wines, meaning a wine base, a shot of neutral spirit and a long infusion of bitter botanicals, usually finished with sugar. That construction stacks the wine problems on top of the botanical ones, which is why the category is graded high for histamine and high for sulfites at the same time. It also comes in graded moderate for FODMAPs and excess fructose from the sweetening, moderate for histamine liberation, and moderate for tyramine and salicylates from the fermented base and the herbs. The category is clean where you would expect a wine based drink to be clean: no lactose, no dairy protein, no nickel, no free glutamate, no oxalate concern. If you are trying to work out which pre dinner drink your body objects to, the useful move is to stop logging aperitif as one thing and record the actual bottle.
