The study also addressed whether sulfites, biogenic amines and tannins are among the causes of headaches after drinking red wine.
Two scientists at the University of California, Davis, believe they discovered why Cabernets, Pinot Noirs and other types of red wine cause suchWaterhouse and Devi measured how quercetin slows down the process of the enzyme ALDH breaking down acetaldehyde, which is produced in the human body when breaking down alcohol.
Waterhouse and Devi noted that extra acetaldehyde circulates cause people to get red, flushed skin which is accompanied by a headache. The headache is as a result of a lagging metabolic step as the body breaks down the alcohol. Sulfites are frequently found in all types of wines and have long been blamed as the reason for hangovers from alcohol.
