For some years now, I’ve been fielding questions from folks who tell me that they get headaches from drinking wine and want to know what causes them. Many people are convinced that the main culprit is sulfites, which are added to wines to stabilize them for extended shelf life. I have pointed out to some of these people that their problems might be just as likely caused by histamines, and in fact, I’ve just read a most interesting blog on just this subject by Jason Haas, General Manager of one of my favorite California wineries, Tablas Creek Vineyards. It’s one of the most incisive reports on this misunderstood issue that I’ve read, but rather than summarize here, I’d suggest that interested readers go directly to Jason’s Tablas Creek Vineyards Blog, this particular entry entitled “Sulfites in Wine - What's Causing my Headache?"
PS: If you’ve never tried
any of Tablas Creek’s wines, you owe it to do so, they’re terrific!
Cheers,
The Winebuys Guy
as far as i know, not just wine can trigger headaches..their are many alcohol drinks that also gave headaches.
