I love red wine, but white wine sets off my asthma, I have no idea why, I assume it's the sodium metabisulphate producing sulphur dioxide that does it, but both red and white have it. Makes no sense, but then I'm strange!

Histamines in Wine? Yes, They’re Making You Sneeze
If you experience allergic symptoms when you have a glass of red wine – things like sneezing, shortness of breath, skin rashes and headaches – you could have histamine intolerance.
Let’s start with the facts. Histamine is a chemical that your body makes, and it’s also naturally and frequently found in foods and beverages. While excess histamine in your body can behave like an allergy, it’s not an allergy. It’s actually histamine intolerance. Let’s break this down.
