Hi there. I have been a wine drinker/enthusiast for years. I love it all; the education, tasting, traveling to different places, visiting vineyards and wineries, etc. I don’t have a preference (red or white), but I do tend to lean toward certain reds. I starting having sneezing attacks in the middle of the night for no reason and didn’t know what the problem was and thought it was my cpap machine or something. I don’t suffer from seasonal allergies so, I knew it wasn’t that either. About a year ago, I went to an EENT doctor and he prescribed a allergy nasal spray to use when I had an attack. It didn’t work. I have celiac disease among other intestinal issues and have gone on a strict diet FODMAP and on steroids for the past 4 months. I’m only allowed 1 glass of wine (I fudge sometimes

It gets worse because your body loses the immunity it had built up. Best to just quit.

It probably has to do with the fermentation process and if they add anything to the grapes....
I have just figured out that wine is the culprit for my sudden nasal congestion and sneezing. I am going to switch to Whiskey and see if I have no reaction.

For me, hydration matters. If I'm dehydrated and drink alcohol I will always begin sneezing...but for me it's a delayed response and I'll wake up early in the morning sneezing for hours (even if i had a drink early in the day). Benadryl helps sometimes. I have a history of sinusitis but not severe.

I Find its mainly speed, if I drink slowly (normal rate) I'm OK, but if I start drinking faster (as you do! ahem) then my nose blocks and I sometimes start sneezing.

I don’t abuse alcohol, but I hate my job. Having a few drinks after a long day of work, or a day of Church, booze brings me sweet relief. Ive found that taking Kratom before opening a bottle or two of wine helps me immensely! (White, 50’s, Male, Texas USA). Try Kratom befor drinking, or plow through any booze related allergic reaction and let the hooch work its magic. Go Aggies!

I have the same complaint as you guys and it looks like there are hundreds of thousands of people with similar symptoms. Not sure if this is a new phenomenon? But one thing to bear in mind, and something that every alcaholic drink contains = alcahol. Maybe that chemical itself is the issue?

I have the same issue with most alcohol (from 20s onwards , got worse) particularly lager. It seems to be worse when I have bread and dairy . I think it maybe gluten related but also dairy increases mucus production anyway. When I have a month off everything to calm things down, the reactions take longer to happen. Work out what combinations are worst and have a month off every so often. That works for me x

I am a 42 year old male in the UK. I lost my sense of smell about 4 years ago and had my polyps removed. My smell returned for a while but then the polyps grew back. I have continued to use Budesonide nasal rinse, with limited success. Around a year ago, I then began to sneeze heavily when drinking wine or beer predominantly, I would then have a congested / runny nose the next day and the sense of smell would be completely gone again for a few days. I took a food intolerance test about 9 months ago and it showed up that I have a high intolerance to yeast. For the last six months, I have mainly drunk gin, with the odd night on the beers / wine.
It looks like it's all linked - the sense of smell and the sneezing. I would love to hear any bright ideas on how the condition can be managed as I do enjoy wine and beer!

I've had the same issue starting in my early 30s and have done a lot of research, including trial and error. The culprit for those that just experience it when they drink wine is a sulfite sensitivity. For those that have it with other alcohols as well, they may have a histamine intolerance or sulfite sensitivity and histamine intolerance. I recommend looking those conditions up as it is likely youll react to other foods as well. There are some marketed products on Amazon (e.g. drops) that you can put into your drinks to reduce the effects. I personally cant speak to their success, but reviews suggests that they have worked for many to enjoy drinking again. I have both a sulfite sensitivity and histamine intolerance and avoid wine altogether and only drink tequila and gin which have lower levels of histamine compared to other alcohols. I avoid all juice mixers as there are sulfites in the juice preservatives as well. My go-to is a simple gin with ginger ale. Even then, the histamine intolerance means that you start to feel symptoms only when the histamine tank is full. So if i have a few drinks and i start to feel symptoms, my go-to solution is Afrin nasal spray (I recommend the no-drip, Allergy kind, but others work too). It's not a steroid spray and works immediately to stop sneezing and congestion. For the sulfite sensitive, i also recommend Molybdenum supplements to help with your body's processing of sulfites from other foods as well. Those two products were gamechangers for me. The other product is a Pepcid or Pepcid AC which although marketed for acid issues is a histamine blocker and helps those with histamine intolerance. Some take 1-2 a day. Good luck all.
