What Does A Wine Allergy Look Like?
A wine allergy can present itself in several different ways, including skin rashes, hives, itching, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, coughing, and stomach pain or gastrointestinal problems. An allergic reaction to wine is usually caused by a specific protein found in grape skins, seeds, and stems, or by the sulfites or histamines present in some wines. People with wine allergies should avoid consuming wine and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction.
