I can drink whites all day and night, but a sip of red wine and I'm down for the count with a massive headache

Seems to happen with pretty much any white wine now domestic or imported, I think it's an allergic reaction.

Never really cared for whites. A nice big hearty red? Now your talking. Sadly a few years ago (maybe 4 or 5) red wines started not liking me. Have a glass, gonna feel it the morning, and not in a good way. I figured it was karma catching up with me for my younger years. My wine drinking days are over.

Happily, no such issues with bourbon, rye, or Irish. Smile

Oddly enough, went wine tasting with Mrs. slosig the other day when we were on a short getaway. As the designated driver, drinking was out of the question, but smelling them made for an enjoyable with no unpleasant after affects.

One more option before giving up on whites is to try a low-sulphite or organic white wine

Beat me to it. I was going to suggest trying a sulfite free white wine and see if that helps. If the symptoms go away then you know.

It doesn’t happen with red wine or any other kind of alcohol. Any idea what could be going on here? I know most whites are high in sulfites and reds are not, could that be it? Is it the acidity? I can drink any other acidic drink and this doesn’t happen to me but drink an ounce or two of any white wine and BOOM, it hits me.

Weird.

I have exactly the same issue with most white wines and possibly their higher acidity. I've wondered if it is due to the fact that whites have a higher concentration of malic acid than typical red wines.

Oddly, my father was the opposite: he could drink whites, but not red.



If you like religion, laws or sausage, then you shouldn't watch them being made.

Stop drinking any type of wine, you need whiskey or moonshine.
