Generally, I like this answer. And it fits my wine kit experience. However, with a reduced oxygen environment, I may be over sulfiting. With oxygenation contributing to the aging process, how do I determine the best amount of sulfites to add ?

Surprisingly, however, the best glass I have ever poured was a sample taken immediately after fermentation was done and before any more sulfites were added. (WineXpert Australian Shiraz Reserve).
