Allergy to wines is a real problem for some people.
Some people seem to be allergic to all types of wine, where as others seem to have reactions to very specific types of wine.
Some are allergic to alcohol but I am referring to people who can drink alcohol but not wine, or certain types of wines.
Wine Allergy Research is the Purpose of this Article
What wines do you find to be the most problematic? Is it a certain brand, a certain region, a certain style, or a certain type of grape?
Have you tried organic wines, and have you noticed a difference?
Do you have other known allergies, or reactions to other types of food?
Please leave your comments, and include:
1) The type of reaction you get
2) A description of the wine
3) Other foods that cause any kind of an allergic reaction
4) Anything else you think might help
Over time, the information collected here will become very valuable to you and everyone else investigating their wine allergy.

Stinging and tightness in cheeks
Hi, not sure if i have an allergy of rose wine or chinese takeaway i get a stinging and tightness in cheeks and lower jaw. This is the second time this has happened. First time i had a glass of white wine which was watered down and then the second time i had a glass of rose wine which i had no pain. Then after eating a chinese takeaway the pain was unbearable. I then sipped on the wine and have continued to get the pain. Arghhhh!!!
White wine alergy
Whenever I drink White wine I get very drunk very fast, after only one or two glasses, I become her dizzy and disoriented and feel sick and tired. The next day I have a really bad hangover with a migraine. I can drink other alcohol and red wine and nothing affects me like this! Also I haven't noticed a problem with champagne and sparkling wine doesn't seem to affect me as badly. I always convince myself I'm imagining it but when I drink it I always get the same reaction. It is so good to read people on here have the same reaction and I might be right in thinking I have an allergy.
white wine and coeliac disease
I have the same bad experience with white wine. I am a coeliac so wine and spirits are the only options.
Recently I drank three glasses of white wine on a empty stomach at a party, became drunk very quickly and passed out. From what i have read gut leakage can be a problem with coeliacs. The possibility that the wine is passing into the blood stream without passing through the digestive systems.
Are you cutting out gluten?
If you have eliminated all gluten from your diet, then your gut should have healed, and the gut leakage problem should not be a problem.
In any case, alcohol is absorbed through the skin, so even with a perfectly healed gut, you'll absorb alcohol through your stomach.
Maybe you are more sensitive to alcohol than you used to be.
As you know, drinking on an empty stomach is not a good idea. Don't do that next time!
white wine and coeliac disease
Any further information worth sharing in regard to the digestive system and blood stream on this subject?
Lower Back Pain/Hot Flashes
Hi! I am NOT a big drinker at all, and I recently have started drinking some very sweet Red Wine. I notice within minutes after drinking my first sip I get really strong lower back pain and hot flashes. I have had issues with drinking in the past, I remember my first strawberry daiquiri in my early 20's and it giving me strong chest pains and shooting pains down my arm. I quit drinking after that episode and only drank an occasional beer. I have recently started having mixed drinks like Malibu and Pineapple Juice, with no effects except the hot flashes. The Red Wine is delicious, but I must say, not worth this back pain it gives me!! Wondering if I have some sort of allergy to certain kinds of alcohol and wine?
Alcohol allergy likely
It sounds like you may be allergic to alcohol, Shelly.
Not some kinds of alcohol. There is only one type (that we can drink, and many more that are deadly poison).
It is possible, likely in fact, that you have other allergies besides, and that drinking alcohol makes the other allergies worse.
Or your body may not metabolize alcohol well, which is not the same as an allergy.
From your description, it doesn't sound like drinking is the best choice for you, as much as I hate to say it!
lower back pain with alcohol
Hey there,
You are the only other person in my 5 years of experience immediate lower back pain when drinking that I have ever heard of! I'm desperate to figure this out, though I am guessing I have an allergic reaction. Have you figured anything out? I'm age 30, and have lived with this since age 25. I rarely drink b/c of the pain it causes.
Sincerely,
Sarah
wine allergy ?
I am quite definitely allergic to wheat (but not coeliac) and I can be sensitive to yeast (vinegars, sugar in products etc). My allergy comes out in the form of swollen eyes, skins rashes and itching. However, I've noticed that sometimes (within an hour or so) after drinking wine I become very sniffly - allergic rhinitis ? The next morning I wake up with a blocked nose, a bit like I've got a cold (which I don't). I realise there is yeast in wine but drinking wine never brings on any of my "usual" symptoms. At the moment I'm not sure if it's white wine or red or both that can cause this problem - I've only just realised (through internet searches) that allergic rhinitis can indicate a wine allergy (my wheat allergy does not cause this). I drank some white wine last night and when I went to bed I was "full of the cold" and am still that way this morning - even though I do not have a cold. I will track it and see if red wine causes the same problem.
Yeast and Wheat allergy symptoms
Thanks for the description, Kaz.
Symptoms are very individualistic. There could be someone else out there who gets allergic rhinitis from eating wheat, but not from drinking wine.
It is very useful to track your own symptoms and find out what allergens cause those symptoms for you.
Should be interesting to hear if red wine causes the same symptoms for you. If not, then we have to wonder: what is the difference between red wine and white wine (in terms of allergens)?
If I am allergic to yeast can I drink wine? What can I drink?
I wish to know if my yeast allergy prevents me from drinking wine. If so what can I drink.
Depending ...
Most would recommend staying away from wine completely in the case of a yeast allergy.
A true yeast allergy would put such a person in an impossible situation. There is yeast absolutely everywhere!
You may be able to have some wine, depeinding on how sensitive you are to yeast.
If you are new to managing your yeast allergy, avoid wine.
If you've been successfully managing it for a while, try a sip of wine and see how you are. Next time try a little more.
This way you'll find out if wine works for you or not.
Do not attempt this if yeast causes serious problems for you.
red & white don't mix
I have gone to many wine tastings and wine dinners and have learned that if I drink both red and white wine at the tasting, I become violently ill the next morning. I can drink many glasses of white, or many glasses of red, but it only happens when I mix the two. I am fine after the tasting and even take a breathalyzer immediately afterword and usually blow a 0 or very close to it. The next morning (or sometimes in the night) I wake up with diarrhea, stomach cramps, and nausea. I also occasionally drink martinis after wine with no side effects. What could be causing this???
I have no known allergies to food, just to penicillin and sulfa drugs.
Brain fog, migraines, but not with mead?
I stopped drinking red wines years ago, as they are a migraine trigger for me. I recently tried some honey wine - actually mead - and to my surprise, had NO adverse reactions at all. Typically after 1 or 2 glasses of wine (any grape based wine) I have blurred vision, slurred speech, difficulty following a conversation, nausea, headache, etc. I always thought this was it meant to be "drunk". Yet I can drink an entire bottle of mead with none of those issues and wake up fine in the morning. The alcohol content is the same, so apparently what affects me in wine made with grapes is not the alcohol. I'm still trying to figure this out.....
How about spirits?
Not that I recommend drinking excessively but ...
Have you tried spirits/mixed drinks?
