Red Wine Headache - Sulfites, Histamines or ?


There was so much discussion after I posted John Kelly's article regarding sulfites, wines and headaches, I did some further research and wanted to pass the information along.
Red Wine Headache (RWH) is a well documented phenomenon. But there is no definitive information regarding RWH because there is no funding available for research. There is no evidence that sulfites are the cause of wine headaches. In fact, research done with subjects known to have sulfite allergies confirm that headaches are not one of the symptoms they experience when drinking wine. White wines often contain more sulfites than reds, and dried fruit contain sulfites and no one who eats either complains of headaches. So what is the culprit?

Some have suspected tannins, but tea, soy and chocolate have tannins and don't seem to be an issue.
Red wine has a lot more histamines than white, but there was a report in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology regarding a study of 16 people with an intolerance to wine, found no difference in reactions to low- and high-histamine wines.

Right now it looks like the cause may be prostaglandins, hormone like substances that may be responsible for the production of some types of pain and inflammation. A new study showed a distinct decrease in headaches in subjects prone to RWH and given prostaglandin inhibitors. In some non-controlled studies it looks like taking aspirin, which reduces prostaglandin production, may control or reduce RWH.
As I get more information I will post it and if any readers have any information please pass it along.

The Benefits Of Using A Wine Cellar Rack



Wine cellar racks undoubtedly add a polished touch to any person's home wine collection. These practical storage devices can accommodate any number of wine bottles, from a few that are to be enjoyed by couples on special occasions, or hundreds for the more serious wine connoisseur.


Wine cellar racks can be fixed onto a kitchen wall as a space-saving and practical measure or be stacked on top of each other in a true aging setting in the basement of your house. Whatever your levels of wine consumption, a storage rack can be the answer to your storage problems.


Wine cellar racks have a distinct advantage over most other forms of bottle storage because you can tailor them to suit your individual taste and decor. You can buy many different styles and colors as well as sizes to convert any available space into a practical and stylish wine storage area.


Wine storage units are extremely easy to use and require little or no construction. Just place the racks where you want them and begin to fill it with your favorite bottles of wine.


The taste of any bottle of wine, regardless of type or age, benefits from being properly stored. By far the most convenient and effective method of storage is by laying the bottles on their side. The main reason for this method of storage is to prevent any sediment in the wine from settling at the bottom of the bottle. This is what inevitably happens when a wine bottle is left standing vertically for a long period of time.


A horizontal storage unit enables this to be done easily and efficiently. The corks in wine bottles can often dry out, especially if not placed on their sides and this leads to more breakage when the wine is eventually opened.


Apart from the benefits that wine cellar racks give to the wine itself they also have numerous benefits for the wine buyer and drinker. You can also organize your wine to suit your preference, either using one rack for a variety of bottles, or numerous racks for larger wine collections. This can help locating that special bottle far easier than having to move hundreds of bottles around that have been stored without a wine rack.


Even if you like to buy more expensive bottles of wine, you needn't spend a fortune on your storage. Wine cellar racks are very reasonably priced. Due to the variety of types available there is sure to be one to suit any pocket. The amount of space that you need for a wine cellar rack is also far less than that needed for storing wine bottles without one.


Of course, most people have seen wine cellar racks in their favorite restaurant or on television in grand houses. They are now far more widely available and not reserved for the wealthy wine collector or restaurant owner. You can purchase one in many different outlets and can buy a bottle, or case, of wine whenever you want without having to worry about where you are going to store it.

Despite hitting patches of pooling water on the highway the bike handled great, and my gear kept me dry. The ride itself was uneventful, including Montreal which was smoother than expected.
