I have noticed that some wines give me an idiosyncratic reaction. Headache, facial flushing and occasionally just feeling "strange" or "weird" in a non-alcohol kind of way. This tends to happen more often with cheaper wines than with those of better quality, but not always.
Do others have this experience? I am wondering if there is some kind of additive to these wines other than the usual sulfites. Could this be related to pesticides used on grapes? What substances are winemakers allowed to add to a wine and still call it "wine". There doesn't seem to be any requirement for labeling the "extra" ingredients that go into wines.
As the French say "A day without wine is like a day without the sun".
