品葡萄酒的12个常见问题，你知道多少

10、Why does wine give me headaches; sulfites, right?为什么我喝葡萄酒后会头疼，是因为葡萄酒中含有亚硫酸盐吗?

Wrong. Sulfites cause very severe allergic reactions in a small number of people, even death in extreme cases, which is why there's a warning on the bottle, but sulfites don't cause headaches. Wine headaches are a serious issue, but the causes are highly personal. Some people get headaches only from red wine and some get them just from, say, German wine. It has to do with histamines and all sorts of other complex science. It really is best to talk with your doctor about this.

不对。亚硫酸盐会导致一小部分人产生严重的过敏反应，极端情况下甚至会致死，因此酒瓶上都标有相应的警示文字，但亚硫酸盐不会引起头疼。喝葡萄酒感觉头疼是一个严重的问题，但原因是因人而异的。有些人只喝红葡萄酒后头疼，而有些人只喝德国葡萄酒后头疼。这跟人体内的组织胺以及其他各种复杂的生化反应有关，最好是向你的医生咨询意见。

3a. But wines in Europe don't have sulfites, right?

3a、但欧洲的葡萄酒里不含亚硫酸盐，对吗?

Wrong. All wines contain sulfites (it's a natural byproduct of the winemaking process) and almost all wines contain added sulfites, all over the world. It's just that the U.S. has required a sulfite warning for many years and Europe started doing that more recently.
