Went to visit my Brothers in Tenerife 2 months ago had lots of Wine for lunch & Dinner with no AF. I was told there's no Sulphates in the European Wine is that true.
Not an option to change Address from Australia to Spain. Interesting I had AF in Madrid which brings me back to Altitude ????? It's a thought. I'm guessing. My brother who goes to Tenerife for the weekend from Madrid doesn't get AF either in Tenerife.
Will be interested in all your thoughts.

As far as I know wine in Europe can be with or without sulphur, but thought it was mainly with. It's only the alcohol that affects me as alcohol-free wine or beer has no effect on my at all no matter how much I drink, even if it has sulphur in it which my a-free wine does.
Others have reported they get AF with a-free wine, so maybe that's sulphur affecting them too?
I always had problems with alcohol free anything and understood that the product is made in the same way as normal before the alcohol is removed with an osmotic process.
I don't know the process Bob. But I'd like to find out sometime. Some of the wine I drink are described as a-free, and some are described as de-alcoholised. The latter seem to be better quality and more wine-like, and more expensive, so maybe they are the "osmotic" ones. I'm going to research it. There's always a catch
I understand that some form of diaphragm or film allows alcohol to pass through whilst leaving the wine behind. It is a process widely used in desalination plants. Not sure or the exact chemical composition of the film.
Heard similar comments , a friend (not AF) confines wine drinking to stuff brewed specifically for local consumption ie checks if no additives. Suspect wines sent to big cities like Madrid are not additive free.
