Every time someone complains that they can't drink a particular kind of wine because it gives them a headache my first instinct it to suggest they consume just one instead of three bottles when they have a tipple and the problem will go away. But seriously. According to some estimates up to 8 per cent of all drinkers have some form of allergic reaction to certain wines or styles of wine. These can include runny noses, skin rashes, all sorts of things. And yes, headaches too.
