When I drink dry red wine????!
Answers: Why is it when I drink dry red wine, like Merlot or Cabernet, which I really like, I CANNOT SLEEP???? I toss and turn omg I grit my teeth! I really like it; its not until I try to go to bed that I find out I react to it like I had 4 cups of coffee???!!!!
It could be the sulphites. I am sensitive in an allergic way...creepy crawly itchy ears, and all hyped up...in the same way you are. I make my own wine now and do not add sulphites for that reason, cause I really like it too!
Red wine has red dye in it and cause headaches
sulfites......
I agree with the Sulfites - check out Old World wines (e.g. France, Italy, etc.) which usually have a lot less of them and stay away from most California & Aussies wines.
You are having a reaction to the sulfites. They are naturally occuring, but are also added to preserve the wine. Try an organic wine. These come with the naturally occuring sulfites, but have no sulfites added. You may find that you can simply enjoy the wine without the restless reaction.
Some to try are: Bonterra, True Earth, Frey, and La Rocca. Or go to any natural foods/organic market and you should find some.
