Why does Red Wine go to my head?!


Question: Why does Red Wine go to my head!?
!.I am 5'9 and 64 kgs!.!.!.so I am only lean, and fairly athletic!.!.!.Most alcoholic drinks I can have 3 or 4 and be ok!. But Red Wine (which I love!) goes straight to my head, and gives me a terrible hangover!. What is it about Red Wine that causes this!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It is full of tannins which come from the stems and skins!. That's why lots of people have more issues with red wine than with white!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just like they said, the tannins do that!. The only solution for this is decanting your red wine and letting it breath for a while!.

Decanting means putting the wine in a bowl, jug, vase, etc!.!.!. so that the residues in the bottom of the bottle dont end up in your drink (using common terms)!.

Letting it breath is giving it more surface to breath!. This will make it more savoury and less "strong" (for hangovers and such)!. There is many ways but the two common ways:
1!. Letting it sit in the glass, while giving it a stir from time to time (common)!.
2!. Decanting!.
