Why does drinking wine cause my nose to quickly get stuffy?

Answer 1

All wines contain hystamines. These chemicals cause mucus secretion. Alcohol is a diuretic which means it tends to cause fluid loss. The result is thick mucus secretion , better known as stuffiness. For some people, the stuffiness comes on suddenly, after only an hour of drinking. For others, it is noticed most the day after drinking wine.

if it red wine it is from the niacin in it. If it is a white wine you could have a mild allergy to the fermented grapes.
