I just had a similar reaction just as severe and it scared me to death. In addition to your symptoms though, I had extremely itchy hands and feet. I can't take Benedryl though so I had to wait for it to pass. My reaction happened after drinking a glass of the regular Barefoot Pinot Grigio. I've had a bit of redness and splotching in the past when drinking certain wine but never this severe. Be sure to take note and avoid it in the future.Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793975855020284657.post-15278975315479954852010-01-29T23:01:35.141-05:002010-01-29T23:01:35.141-05:00Wow that is very scary.

I am a bit of an expert in this area - I am a level 3 sommelier and I have a champagne allergy - and can absolutely confirm that there is a small percentage of the population that is allergic to champagne. <br /><br />As others have noted, you should not ignore the potential for something you ate to have triggered this, but it sounds to me like you had a reaction to the bubbly. Another alternative to consider is that the Barefoot sparkling is made from pinot grigio, a varietal not typically used to make sparkling wine though it is a mutation of a pinot noir which is one of the three grapes that can be used in champagne, and there may have been a chemical reaction producing a specific allergen for you. Additionally, the Barefoot goes through a process known as "fining" which is way more complicated to explain than necessary here, but can also produce allergens.<br /><br />Good luck with this, and I hope the rest of your month, year, etc. get better than the start.restaurant refugeehttp://restaurantrefugee.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793975855020284657.post-27851833577740495262010-01-02T22:53:44.587-05:002010-01-02T22:53:44.587-05:00So sorry to hear about what happened to you.

I only had half a glass of champaign and I woke up with a horrible upset stomach and vomiting. This happened to me the last time I had champaign as well but I didn't know what to associate the illness to until now.<br /><br />I don't have the same reaction to wine, other then like you said possible headaches.<br /><br />I am feeling better now, but was ill until about 1:00. I will read more up on sulfites to see if that may be it....I think I will be avoiding Champaign from now onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793975855020284657.post-45353508794829272272010-01-01T15:45:57.242-05:002010-01-01T15:45:57.242-05:00WOW...what a way to bring in the New Year.

The sulfite is a likely candidate. I can't drink wines because something in them will trigger the Migraine from Hell about an hour after after I drink a glass. <br /><br />Could also have been something in the appetizers you ate, so don't discount those either.<br /><br />Sorry you had such a miserable start to the year. Here's hoping you got it all over with now and the rest of the year will be smooth sailing!<br /><br />(oh, and if that happens again -- get thee to an ER!)Jean in Georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10846133653704666843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3793975855020284657.post-30889020056147152102010-01-01T11:10:27.420-05:002010-01-01T11:10:27.420-05:00Did you think sulfite?
