A Red Wine That Eliminates the Post-Drink Headache

These headaches are most likely caused by tryamine (a naturally occurring product of fermentation) and possibly having a prescription for an MAOI (antidepressant). These two substances together can cause some very pernicious headaches… Although in and of themselves tryamines can illicit an immune system response causing various effects, when these two substances (MAOI & tryamine) are present in the bloodstream it usually causes physiological issues such "hangover headaches".

Skitsnack! Det är bara dåliga skallar som far illa av rött vin. Ett av livets godaste drycker.

Great interview, I add that we should not forget that the first two wines Low Histamines with histamines less than 0.5mg / liter, are both two DOC of the Piedmont region of the territory of the Langa (and are: Dolcetto D'Alba doc and barbera D'Alba doc), qualitatively and professionally, no mention of table wine, but DOC wine, mean Designation of Origin Guaranteed issued by the Italian government.
What does it means D.O.C.?
D.O.C. wines are regulated by a set of production regulations and are distinguished by a very precise area of origin which may also include sub-areas which limits the area to a certain village, hamlet, farm, of vineyard. It is clear that the more the area of origin is limited and the regulation variables are multiplied, that the wineries and the amount of which will fall into this category will decrease. This then increases the quality of the wine which is produced.
The production regulations of D.O.C. wines must outline:
-the name of the appellation (The name of the D.O.C.)
– the area of origin of the grape
– the maximum yield of grapes and wine per hectare (a hectare is approximately 2.5 acres)
– the minimum potential alcohol level of the grapes
– the chemical and organoleptic characteristics of the wines as well as the minimum alcohol content of the wine
– the production condition (Climate, soil, elevation, sun exposure, etc…)
– the layout of the vineyards in terms of plant density, types of training systems, pruning
– how the sensory analysis examinations are to be carried out
– minimum period of ageing in wood or in bottle (in the case of wines Low Histamines it absolutely are not left in the wood but only stainless steel)
– in which specific area the wine must be bottled.

D.O.C. wines are subject to physical-chemical and organoleptic (relating to qualities of taste, color, odor, and feel) tests during the production stages which are carried out by special examination panels.

Dolcetto D'Alba Doc is a native Piedmontese wine, made from a single grape variety that is called Dolcetto. Its main feature:
The nose strong fruits especially cherry, low acidity on the palate compared to other wines of Piedmont, very few tannins, very fruity, especially cherry, with an aftertaste of almond and a very dry persistent, excellent paired with white meat, fried chicken, pizza, pasta matriciana or with tomato sauce, lasagna, cheese not too mature and mixed salads.

Barbera D'Alba Doc is also a native Piedmontese wine, made from a sigle grape variety that is called Barbera (from the Alba territory). Its main feature:
The nose very fruity, especially red fruits, good acidity on the palate, light noble tannins, good persistence.
Excellent paired with game, pork, spicy cheeses

I remember that Dolcetto and Barbera grape are 2 of the most important red grape from Piedmont region and Italy.

Both wines are produced, vinified in stainless steel to maintain their originality and purity. A wooden wine would increase histamines in wine.
