What to know about champagne
Champagne is a sparkling wine, and like other wines it is fermented and aged on the lees, which makes it high in histamine and a common trigger for flushing, a blocked nose, headaches or hives. On top of that it carries moderate sulfites from winemaking and moderate tyramine, and the carbonation speeds how fast the alcohol reaches your bloodstream. If a glass of bubbly reliably brings on a headache or a red face, the histamine and sulfites, not just the alcohol, are usually why.
Watch for
- High in histamine from fermentation and ageing, so it is one of the more reliable drink triggers for flushing, congestion, headache and hives in histamine-sensitive people.
- Moderate sulfites, both added and formed during winemaking, which can bring on wheezing or a stuffy nose separately from the histamine.
- The bubbles matter: carbonation speeds alcohol absorption, so symptoms can come on faster than with a still wine.
- Moderate tyramine plus some fructose, so it stacks with aged cheese, cured meats or a heavy meal.
