One of the reasons apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice) will work for reflux is because it has acid which the stomach needs to digest food. Most of the time, it's not too much acid that causes reflux, it's too little.
Preservative free wine and the use of sulphur dioxide is, however, an expansive and contentious topic and getting to the bottom of it can feel like trying to crack the Da Vinci Code. Preservative free wine is a really a misnomer. This is because no wines are truly âpreservative freeâ as some sulphur dioxide will always be released during fermentation and acts as a natural preservative. The term âpreservative freeâ is often used to mean that no preservatives have been added during the wine making process.
1 Sulfur (as sulfur dioxide) has been used to preserve wine for millennia, and remains an ingredient in wine today, according to the Practical Winery & Vineyard Journal. 2  It's not clear where the name sulfur comes from. 3  It could be derived from sufra, or yellow in Arabic.
