It’s actually histamine, not sulfite that’s usually the cause of red wine headaches. White wines tends to have higher sulfite levels than red, but are low in histamine.
yeah, this. i think barrique-heavy wines have more histamine, so that would explain the migraines from the aged stuff. in cheap wines, these are added by putting oak chips in the cask so you get an immitation of that flavor without having to age the wine for years.

Histamine? More like hista-meany won't let me drink wine :deeper-sadness:
Wait does this mean I can take benedryl or allergy medicine and drink that wine?
Yes, but don't. Be kind to your liver
:kim-salute:
wait histamines are in red wines? fuck I’m apparently really sensitive to those
