A didactic spectrophotometric method for determining the sulfite content in white wine samples is proposed. It is based upon a discoloring reaction between flower anthocyanins and the sulfite in basic media. Students' results obtained from iodometric data agreed well with results obtained by the proposed procedure. The use of natural dyes attracted students' interest, enhancing the learning process.
