The thing most often recommend is sulfite, and it occurs naturally in small amounts during fermentation. Sulfites are your friend. Not only do they keep wine from developing infections like film yeast, mould, and acetobacter (vinegar bacteria), they also keep the wine from oxidizing. Without the use of sulfites you have to be terrifically careful to keep all of your equipment very sanitary and you still have to drink your wine up as quickly as possible before it spoils. Cleaners and sanitizes are not the same as stabilizers.
