I had avoided red wine for years because it gave me a headache except for Beaujolais Nouveau.
Trouble is the Nouveau arrives in November and should be consumed by Christmas. (Otherwise you can use if on fish & chips.)
Every November we party on escargots and nouveau.
Then one day when I was shopping for a wine to serve a guest. The vintner suggested a red. I complained that the only red that did not give me a headache was the nouveau. She suggested that I should try other new wines as my headaches came from drinking aged wines. She suggested a Gamay Noir or a Merlot.
It is not what one would ordinarily think of serving a guest, but they are both good conservative choices and they don't cause headaches.
For watching a ball game or a cricket match, beer or ale is better than wine, but wine is a staple with evening meals.
My cardiologist also recommends a glass of red wine as being good for the heart.
Potassium Chlor or Sodium Clor. Some wineries are infamous for setting off migraines with these preservatives.
Yummmmm!
