"Red Wine headache"
"" This may be one reason why those sensitive to "red wine headache"
experience the problem with oaky young Bordeaux. (Too much "toast" in the barrels.) "" I have just picked this comment up over red wine giving one a headache. I suffer this syndrome and thought it was 'just me' until I met others with the same problem. However, am I correct in saying that it is not all red wines, but those produced in a certain way which is the problem, and if so, what do I look for on a wine list which will be compatible? I was out to Dinner in Coventry on Saturday and the young lady I took was a red wine drinker, I was white. It would have been so much easier and we could have had a bottle had we both been on red.

White doesn't affect me much, unless I have an enormous amount - although it takes less of a heavily oaked chardonnay to give me a headache. I STR reading somewhere it has something to do with the amount of tannin in the wine - I cannot remember if the oak barrels add extra tannin. -- Anne Chambers, South Australia anne dot chambers at bigpond dot com |

Alternatively drink in moderation, two bottles of white wine give me a headache! ;-) That's a good answer! ;) Two bottles of anything will give me a headache too. Since I posted the original comment, I'll respond here. Red wine headache is thought to come from over heavy use of sulfites or excess of tannins, both associated with barrel aging. However many wines are not (traditionally, although "style" is going more and more that way) barrel aged. Most people don't get red wine headache when they drink such wines. To stay away from wines aged in wood, look to the Rhone valley of France, (grenache based Cotes du Rhone), the Loire valley (cabernet franc based wines such as Chinon), Spanish garnacha, etc. Try US wines from the "Rhone Rangers" like Bonny Doon. Or Zinfandel. Avoid most Cabernet sauvignon or Shiraz based wines. Most people who have the condition get it from Bordeaux, which is usually aged in wood. Could go on and on.... Another option is to take an anti-histamine before partaking, if you have an allergy. (I'm sure there's lots of good reasons not to do this, too). The bottom line is that without specific information it will be difficult to know how an individual wine is made. A reason why it is perhaps better to shop at Berry Bros than Tesco! ;) -E -- Emery Davis You can reply to ecom by removing the well known companies Questions about wine?

I'm not embarrassed or ashamed of it, I just wish that I could enjoy it like others obviously do. I am the same as you. I have given up trying to drink red wine. The hangover is dreadful too:( I drink white wine or gin and never have a headache or a hangover!! I drink white wine AND gin and I still don't get one. You have to sober up before you can get a hangover :-)) Ha. I am undone :-) I speak from some experience so in a way I am also. HOW many pints of Guinness....? ;-) More than there were oysters on my plate last night anyway. Isn't the minimum half a dozen? ;-) Or are you telling us you had mussels! Half a dozen indeed is the serving and they certainly weren't mussels, they usually come in a serving of about 36 nd even I can't drink quite that much guinness at one sitting.... these days anyway/ Ah well, I'm sure they have Nurofen in Ireland, too! BTW, the Dioralyte mentioned to Mike when Carol was ill, is also good for hangovers. ;-) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk (remove weeds from address) 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |
