The only wine-induced headache (migraine, actually) I've had was with Georgian wine, so I've become wary of wines, especially reds, from Eastern Europe.<BR/><BR/>I admit, being as close to Niagara as I am, I haven't reached past the New World for icewines yet, either. This WBW has certainly encouraged me to look wider.<BR/><BR/>(It's taken a while, but I'm finally revisiting everyone from WBW #27 and re-reading all the posts a second time.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-1163168359482957872006-11-10T09:19:00.000-05:002006-11-10T09:19:00.000-05:00Uncouth but brainy: Thanks for your comment.

But you raise a good question.<BR/><BR/>Why is it that the <EM>British</EM> term for fuel is so much more acceptable as a wine tasting term?

Some people complain of headaches from red wine, others from white. Some people think its the sulfites, but several studies have shown that there is no conclusive link between sulfites and headaches in any regular way.<BR/><BR/>Sulphur usage is VERY individual to a winery, so unless gosiersec knows this producer specifically, it's difficult to make cliams about sulphur usage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18717316.post-1163003798186917682006-11-08T11:36:00.000-05:002006-11-08T11:36:00.000-05:00The headache may very well be due to the amount of...The headache may very well be due to the amount of residual sulphur (sulfites) in the wine. A lot of sulphur is usually used to stabilize these wines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
