Default Are hangovers less of a problem with organic red wines?

I find that I tend to get less of a hangover and am less tired the next day when I drink organic red wine as opposed to non-organic red wine. My friend says it is because organic red wine does not contain sulfites. Is this correct?

as opposed to regular red wines very much so, most organic wines do not have any sulfites

There is no difference. Pesticide quantities in non-organic wine are so small that they would not affect theintensity of your hangover. After 40 years of drinking it you might have a higher risk for cancer, but that's another issue. Sulfites can be found in both. Some non-organic wines also have no sulfites. These wines are often a little more expensive for the good ones because more care needs to be taken to make sure there are no bacterial invasions before fermentation takes hold.
