I enjoy a nice red wine but it seems I have to endure a headache afterward. Is there any reason why or way to enjoy without the headache. I also get a pretty good flush with red wine.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Hello, I have a similar problem when drinking more than a half bottle (what is usual given my wife always drink less than the other half ;) I found really useful to drink a lot of water during and after the wine drinking. It helps to "clean me up", and I don't feel unconformable after a nice wine. Regards,

The odds are that you are having a reaction to the histamines in the wine, particularly given that you mention only red wine. Histamines are by far the most common sensitivity element in wine.
Solution, if this is indeed the case, is rather simple: take a Benadryl (an antihistamine) tablet a few minutes before you start drinking the red wine. If then you are ok, you have found your solution.
