What to know about red wine
Red wine is the textbook headache and flushing trigger because it stacks four things at once: it is very high in histamine, high in tyramine, high in sulfites and high in salicylates. Unlike beer it contains no gluten, so the reaction is not a gluten problem, it is the fermented amine and sulfite load. This is why a single glass of red can bring on a flushed face, blocked nose or a pounding head while a clear spirit does not.
Watch for
- Very high in histamine and high in tyramine, the pairing most often blamed for red-wine headache, flushing and nasal congestion
- High in sulfites, added as a preservative, which can trigger wheeze or headache separately from the histamine
- High in salicylates from the grape skins, a further trigger if you react to aspirin or salicylate-rich foods
- Gluten-free, so if beer bothers you but red wine also does, gluten is not the shared cause
