Wine Headaches

Splendid Table Selects is our sister podcast that features interviews that focus on intriguing topics. This episode, we look at the science behind wine headaches. If you're a person that doesn't get wine headaches, count yourself lucky. For those that do suffer them, some of us at The Splendid Table feel your pain - literally. Dr. Nadia Berenstein is a researcher who writes about science, technology and culture in the context of food for many publications and on her blog Flavor Added. She talked to our friend Russ Parsons about what causes a wine headache, why it only affects some people, and what some people in the wine industry are doing to decrease the effects. Our presenting sponsor is Bob’s Red Mill. They’re an employee-owned company that, for decades, has offered organic, gluten-free, stone-ground products.
