Medical dilemma
It has come to my attention that I have woken on a few occasions recently with a pain in my face. On careful reflection and repeated analysis I have realised that this correlates directly with when I have consumed white wine...sauvignon blanc, pinot grigio, riesling et al. Now before you jump to conclusions, this is not a hangover as the pain is actually in my face, not my head and this occurance can be after just one glass. As all true scientists do.....I googled it, and realised that it is a known fact that white wine in particular can cause sinusitis ie. the pain in the face....I AM ALLERGIC TO WHITE WINE ! Disaster of epic proportions. The straw which broke the camels back. The point of no return. My favourite drink on Earth is white wine. I think about it, visualise it, imagine it, talk about it, buy it, open it and drink it. My favourite fantasy is a single drop of condensation sliding down the side of a large cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc. What is a 40 year old wino to do ? Do I throw caution to the wind and persevere in the knowledge that I will feel ropey the next morning regardless of how much I consume ? Do I , at this late stage in life, change my drink ? Do I follow one slightly dubious suggestion and take an antihistamine before drinking....of course I bloody do ! So now I will have a drink and drugs problem....que sera sera !
Dahlink! I doubt champagne would have the same effect. Oops! Up goes the Veuve Cliquot bill! Now don't jump to any conclusions about white wine being the culprit. It may be some other, less essential item. After all, Wikipedia and Google have been known to be wrong before now.
