Are you sure it's not just an allergy to sulfites or tannins? Try a red that is lower in sulfites and/or tannins and you might solve the problem. Lots of people have that allergy.
It is the sulfites. The only thing I can drink more than an ounce of is malbecs. Im having a hard time with cabs and blends.

I find if I take an antihistamine before/after drinking red wine, I don't get as many headaches. Sulfites get to a lot of people...that's what makes some people's cheeks and noses turn red when they drink red wine.
