Dear experts, Please help me if you can. I like wines, especially reds. Rivers running reds with shores made of aged cheese is my vision of haven. But about five years ago I began to notice that drinking red causing me a terrible headache. It does not matter how much I drink. As much as one sip is enough. I don't think it is the wine. I suspect this is something in the wine. I did some research and noticed that I have this problem only with reds. It goes for all reds I tried, domestic and imported. But if I'm happy to find same wine bottled at the origin (Europe), it don't cause me any problem. I must say that it is true only for reds. I don't have this problem with whites, regardless of their origin or bottling. All this made me thinking that in the states all wines, or reds at least, imported and domestics, have some sort of an additive (preservative) added, which is causing me and might be others this terrible headache. I suspect that the industry started using some new conservative in late 90th, Please comment if you have similar experience or can shine some light on the issue. Sincerely, Red drunk.
