Why does wine make my stomach churn but other alcohols don’t?
Posted by admin
Other alcohol like liquors like Rum, Scotch, Absinthe, and Beer don’t make my stomach churn except red wine? Why would that be?
This really depends on the wine and the person.
Some people can not take wine at all where as other people only have a negative reaction to certain varietals or brands of wine.
For example, I can not drink Chardonay if it is too acidic. I can drink reds and other whites no problem. When I go to drink Chardonay I have to take a very small taste to do an "acid check" and if it is too acidic I can’t drink it or I will get sick.
For others it has to do with the wine being too cheap.
For still others they have a bad reaction to the tanins in red wines. Some reds have "soft" tanins while other reds are high in tanins and make at least some people sick.
Still other people have an alergic reaction to sulfites which are found in most wines these days.
For yet others they have had a bad experience and just can’t drink that brand/type of wine again.

Is there a possibility that you any be allergic to the chemicals in red wine or for that matter,any wine? Some people can drink red wine with no effect whatsoever. After a glass and a half of red wine, i will develop an aftertaste and a headache.

Probably the tannins. If you drink a strong ("stewed" as we say) English cup of tea and it has the same effect then it’s definitely the tannins. More expensive and older wines have softer tannins so they should affect you less.
