Will they give me headaches? Like any new winemaker, you may even opt to just skip out on both of these additions, only to later find out that you have a real headache on your hands I wouldn't wish either of these scenerios on anyone, so I am here to explain the purpose of these two additions and when they are necessary as a winemaker.
What is the difference between Potassium Sorbate and Potassium Metabisulfite? Potassium sorbate acts as a stabilizer. It does not kill yeast, or stop fermentation but it will stop the existing yeast from further multiplying as they usually would in the presence of sugar.
Generally this is added right before back-sweetening and bottling in conjunction with potassium metabisulfite. Do not add potassium sorbate during or before fermentation, as it will severely inhibit the natural yeast multiplication process. Potassium metabisulfite acts as an antioxidant with anti-microbial properties. This serves many purposes along the winemaking journey.
In slang, the addition is usually referred to as adding SO2 sulfur dioxide because when added to water or wine it produces SO2 gas and SO3 sulfite. Sulfites have been vilified by the general public ever since wineries were required to write "contains sulfites" on the labels but we'll get to that later. Believe it or not, sulfites are actually produced as a natural byproduct of yeast alcoholic fermentation in quantities up to parts per million ppm and used widely in the food industry as a safe means of preserving food.
Will They Give Me a Headache? While you may get a headache from red wine, the cause is probably not the sulfites. Red wine is extremely complex and includes many compounds that make up the flavors and aromas. Nobody has been able to nail down what causes the "red wine headache" yet. It may stem from anything Yellow Jacket Venom? Copper Sulfate? Common Hangover? Sulfites are generally much higher in white wines and dried fruits than in red wines but neither of those get quite the bad rap.
