What are Low-Histamine Wines and How Are They Made?
The secret of these wines lies in an extremely clean and strictly controlled production process. While each winemaker guards their exact know-how, the core principles remain the same:
- Hand-Harvesting and Selection: Grapes are grown organically without harmful chemicals. They are harvested entirely by hand, and any damaged or bruised berries are immediately discarded.
- Controlled Fermentation: The fermentation process is stopped at a precisely calculated moment to prevent the formation and accumulation of histamine.
- Laboratory Certification: The finished wine undergoes rigorous lab testing. It only receives certification as a low-histamine wine if the histamine content is extremely low or completely undetectable.
A Great Benefit: No More Headaches
As a rule, these wines are also crafted without added sulfur, resulting in very low sulfite levels. If you happen to celebrate a bit more than planned, you won't be greeted by a pounding headache the next morning. The purity of the wine naturally protects your body from the typical morning-after hangover.
