The Hidden Ingredients in Your Wine

DID YOU KNOW: Wine is not required to have a contents label on the bottle.

There are 76 legal additives approved for use in winemaking by the US government.

This makes it hard for us to know what’s actually in a particular glass of wine.

As if it wasn’t hard enough being histamine intolerant and drinking alcohol!

There might be preservatives, chemicals or coloring ingredients such as “Mega Purple” to enhance the look of the wine.

Sulfites in wine are also a problem and have been shown to cause health problems for some people.

Red wine is said to be ‘the highest histamine food or drink in the world’ by some.

So next time you pour yourself a glass, take a moment to consider what might be hiding in your wine.
