To preface, a colleague I work with is an assistant prof. at Stanford, and he recently told me he makes wine in Napa with friends. His first wine, a cab, had to have been infected. My wife wouldnt drink it, and the aroma reminded me of past lambics I have made... The taste was unpleasant. He recently gave me another bottle of cab, a different kind, and it tastes awesome.
About 30 min after pouring my wife a glass, she pauses what we are watching and asked if she was "red". She in fact was breaking out on the chest, down her side, on the back, and later on the arms with a rash. Murphy's Law, both being medical professionals, we had benadryl in the house, so she downed some of my sons... Her rash later subsided...
My question... She drinks wine (maybe a glass ever other week or so) has no allergies (though I know can change), drinks reds whenver she does have wine, and has never had a reaction... I researched and the only thing I can come up with is sulfites... but she has downed cabs in the past with no issue. Same with alcohol (not that it is often).
I just want to know if this is common, or has happened to anyone else. Obviously she will drink wine again, and if its up to me it will be a cab (I'd be the most unethical scientist and would obviously have some prednisone/benadryl on hand) to see if it happened again... I just find this very odd...
