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.
