Several investigations carried out in Britain have discovered what substance produces the headache of black wine.

Initially it was considered to be a substance called tyramine. But apart from the wine of tyramine is also found in other foods that do not generate headache.

Finally, it has been observed that the causes of headache are flavonoids that give color to red wine.

Flabonoids prevent the work of the enzyme responsible for the breakage of toxic phenols in our stomach. Phenols pass into the blood and with it they reach the brain with headache.

In the old wines the flabonoids precipitate like solids, so the old wines do not create hangover as the young ones. So you already know how to drink good and old wine.
