Expert reveals the elegant way to pick up drinks at your Christmas party<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The festive season is here, and for many that means raising a glass or two to celebrate. However, for some, the side-effects of drinking wine, from headaches and rashes to nausea and heart palpitations, are anything but joyous.<\/p>\n<p>Sulphites are often cited as the culprit. In fact, wine is significantly lower in sulphites (naturally occurring compounds that act as a preservative) than numerous other food and drink products.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Those unlucky enough to be allergic to sulphites obviously need to bypass wines with added sulphur, but for most wine drinkers, the levels are simply too low to cause adverse reactions.<\/p>\n<p>Another suspect in the wine headache whodunnit is histamine. Produced by bacteria, histamines are naturally occurring compounds found not just in wine but chocolate and cheese to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>However, when histamine is mixed with alcohol, the body\u2019s ability to break down toxins can be compromised which, for some, may lead to worse side-effects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/21\/78797717-12847715-image-a-7_1702244674290.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>For those planning on raising a glass or two to celebrate this festive season, Helen McGinn reveals what to drink to have a better chance of avoiding a hangover in the morning (stock image)<\/p>\n<p>Generally, crisp white wines are likely to have lower levels of histamines compared with red wines or many so-called natural or even biodynamic wines.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s not all. A recent study published by the University of California points to evidence that the real culprit might, in fact, be quercetin, a natural compound present in red wines, particularly those from warmer climates. When mixed with alcohol, it can inhibit the body\u2019s ability to metabolise it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So can you really pick wines less likely to lead to a thumping headache in the morning?<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s wine expert Helen McGinn&#8217;s pick of the bunch of glasses to raise if you want a better chance of having a clear head the following day&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/21\/78797723-12847715-image-a-2_1702244384168.jpg\" height=\"396\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Forchir Ribolla Gialla Spumante Brut, \u00a313.99 or (mix six price) \u00a39.99, Majestic<\/p>\n<p><span>PARTY-STARTER FIZZ<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Forchir Ribolla Gialla Spumante Brut, \u00a313.99 or (mix six price) \u00a39.99, Majestic<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Move over Prosecco, there\u2019s a new Italian sparkling in town! And with around a third of the amount of natural residual sugar in it compared with most Proseccos, it\u2019s less likely to spike sugar levels after a few glasses, which can leave some feeling sluggish.<\/p>\n<p>Made from the Ribolla Gialla grape that\u2019s grown in vineyards in the cooler northern Italian region of Friuli, it\u2019s fresh and lightly floral with pear and peach fruit flavours. The perfect party-starter. <span>9\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>CRISP CREMANT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Taste The Difference Cremant de Loire, \u00a310.50, Sainsbury\u2019s<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The Loire region is one of France\u2019s coolest, both in terms of climate and credentials.<\/p>\n<p>This particular sparkling is a blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay grapes and made in the same way as Champagne by Ladubay, a company founded in 1851. Fresh with crisp, green apple flavours and a light toasty note, it\u2019s just 12.5 per cent alcohol, too. <span>7\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>FRUITY NUMBER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Co-op Irresistible Rioja Blanco 2022, \u00a37.50<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You may not think of Rioja for white wine, but this one, new to the Co-op Irresistible range, is fabulous.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Made by a great producer called Muriel from a blend of mostly Viura with some Tempranillo Blanco, there\u2019s no oak involved so it\u2019s all about the fruit \u2014 in this case citrus and white peach.\u00a0<span>6\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>COOL WHITE<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/21\/78797721-12847715-image-a-4_1702244602848.jpg\" height=\"398\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Found Arinto, \u00a37.50, M&amp;S<\/p>\n<p><span>Found Arinto, \u00a37.50, M&amp;S<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The key to lower levels of quercetin in wine, according to the studies done to date, is sticking to reds from cooler climates and picking whites over reds.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously Portugal is warm, but the location of Lisbon\u2019s vineyards close to the coast helps lock in freshness and natural acidity, especially in the Arinto grape.<\/p>\n<p>Think of it as a vinous squeeze of lemon and match it with seafood. At a modest 12.5 per cent alcohol, it\u2019s enough to get you in the party spirit but less likely to leave you regretting it the next day. <span>7\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>GREEN AND PLEASANT<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Torre de Lapela Vinho Verde, \u00a35.50, Asda<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Another one from Portugal, but this one\u2019s from the very northern tip. Vinho Verde translates as \u2018green\u2019 wine, a reference to its youth, not its colour, and it\u2019s where you\u2019ll find some of the country\u2019s freshest whites with naturally lower alcohol levels.<\/p>\n<p>This one\u2019s made from a blend of Alvarinho and Trajadura grapes grown in vineyards on the banks of the Minho River. Crisp and lively with peach and apricot fruit flavours, try this 10 per cent abv one with shellfish. <span>6\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>BURGUNDY BELTER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Caves de Lugny Macon Villages, \u00a310.50, Asda<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Opting for white over red is a sensible option for those wanting to avoid unwanted side-effects, and white Burgundy is a festive classic. Unfortunately, it\u2019s really not cheap and prices have risen over the past few years, putting it out of many a wine lover\u2019s price range.<\/p>\n<p>This one, however, is made by a large co-operative winery in a village called Lugny, one of the largest in the region. The wine is crisp, clean and bright, with that benchmark roundness which makes white Burgundy so drinkable. Just don\u2019t let the price tempt you into a third glass. <span>8\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>CANAPE COCKTAIL\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Irresistible Cotes de Provence, \u00a39.50, Co-op<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Staying on the crisp, dry theme, Provence ros\u00e9 is a good place to go foraging as the appellation rules regulate the amount of natural residual sugar and alcohol permitted in their wines.<\/p>\n<p>However, like white Burgundy, prices have been creeping up in recent years. This one, new to the Co-op range, is made by a great co-operative producer in the region from a cocktail of grapes including Grenache Gris, Cinsault, Carignan, Syrah, Mourvedre &amp; Rolle. Bright and fresh with citrus and light red fruits, serve this with canap\u00e9s. <span>8\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>BEST OF ROS\u00c9 BUNCH<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Artesano de Argento Organic Malbec Ros\u00e9, \u00a310, Sainsbury\u2019s<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Red grapes may produce wines with higher levels of quercetin, but this is a ros\u00e9 made from red grapes. The juice and skins are left together for a relatively short time compared with how long they would be to produce a red wine from them, so the wines are likely to contain lower levels of headache-inducing compounds.<\/p>\n<p>This is a blend of (mostly) Malbec and Syrah grapes from vineyards at more than 1,000 metres above sea level.<\/p>\n<p>This higher altitude means there\u2019s the jump between temperatures during the day and night, slowing down the ripening of the grapes and preserving crispness.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s got oomph when it comes to flavour but scores just 12.5 per cent on the alcohol front. <span>7\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>CHERRY PICK<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Taste The Difference Chilean Pinot Noir, \u00a39.25, Sainsbury\u2019s<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/21\/78797719-12847715-image-a-6_1702244641565.jpg\" height=\"306\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Taste The Difference Chilean Pinot Noir, \u00a39.25, Sainsbury\u2019s<\/p>\n<p>If you want a red from a cooler region, this one, from Chile\u2019s southerly area of Biobio, is made by a great producer and is packed with fresh black cherry and raspberry flavours.<\/p>\n<p>The Pinot Noir grape doesn\u2019t love the heat and is likely to have lower quercetin levels than, say, a Cabernet Sauvignon from a warmer region such as California.<\/p>\n<p>And when it comes to turkey-loving reds, Pinot Noir is spot on. <span>8\/10<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Helen\u2019s book, The Knackered Mother\u2019s Wine Guide, is out now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12847715\/The-5-50-wine-wont-leave-nursing-horrible-hangover.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE The \u00a35.50 wine that won&#8217;t leave you nursing a horrible hangover What to drink to have a better chance of a clear head in the morning\u00a0 READ MORE:\u00a0\u00a0You&#8217;ve been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182276,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8.1 -
