I add 25ppm of SO2 (PMBS) to 59 gallons (barrell) of wine - stir gently. How long will it take to diffuse in the wine so it evenly dispursed in the wine?

The electron configuration of sulfur (long) is: 1s22s22p63s23p4. The electron configuration of sulfur (short) is: [He]3s23p4.
Sulfur dioxide would be considered to have short term toxicity because it produces its deleterious effects rather quickly. Once it reacts, it's done with its damage. It can be severely corrosive to the eyes, respiratory system, and skin. It can cause chemical severe burns. Contact with rapidly expanding gas may cause burns or frostbite. Exposure can exacerbate existing conditions where eyes, respiratory system or skin is already damaged. Once the eyes, respiratory system or skin are damaged, it can result in a chronic condition, but this is due to the existing damage rather than persistent toxicity of the sulfur dioxide.
When the body doesn't have enough carbon dioxide in the blood, blood vessels will constrict. This is a long-term effect of having low levels of carbon dioxide.
Elemental sulfur exists in several different forms. The normal form at room temperature is S8, a ring-shaped molecule with 8 sulfur atoms per ring. However, 6, 7, 12 and 18 membered rings are also possible. If molten sulfur is cooled quickly, it forms a rubbery solid which is thought to be long chains of sulfur atoms arranged in a helical structure. This form is not stable and changes fairly quickly back to the 8-membered rings. Sulfur vapor mostly exists as the diatomic molecule S2.

It can be, as long as no other substances are present.
Exposure to very high levels of sulfur dioxide can be life threatening. Exposure to 100 parts of sulfur dioxide per million parts of air (100 ppm) is considered immediately dangerous to life and health. Burning of the nose and throat, breathing difficulties, and severe airway obstructions occurred in miners who breathed sulfur dioxide released as a result of an explosion in a copper mine. Long-term exposure to persistent levels of sulfur dioxide can affect your health. Lung function changes were seen in some workers exposed to low levels of sulfur dioxide for 20 years or more. However, these workers were also exposed to other chemicals, so their health effects may not have been from sulfur dioxide alone. Asthmatics have also been shown to be sensitive to the respiratory effects of low concentrations of sulfur dioxide.
Pure sulfur isn't too bad for you. You can safely ingest a reasonable amount of it, and it would not cause long term effects if you wash your eyes if it gets in there. But if you heat it, it releases sulfur dioxide and that isn't exactly healthy for you.
Long-term exposure to persistent levels of sulfur dioxide can cause chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and respiratory illness. It can also aggravate existing heart disease.Prolonged industrial exposure to sulfur dioxide may decrease fertility in men and women.Short-term exposure to sulfur dioxide can cause stomach pain, menstrual disorders, watery eyes, inhibition of thyroid function, loss of smell, headache, nausea, vomiting, fever, convulsions, and dizziness.Sulfur dioxide affects the respiratory system, particularly the lungs. Increased amount of SO2 in the air may cause burning of the nose and throat.The sulfur dioxide mostly affect disease related to respiratory system in mammals and birds.
An increase in diffusion rates in tissues favours oxygen movement from the capillaries to the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the cells to the blood. Also With some training these rates increase, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to diffuse more rapidly.
