All wines contain Sulfides (sulfur dioxide) as it is naturally produces by the yeast, and in some cases it is also added by the vintner, it is used as a preservative. Sulfites can have some adverse effects on some people. The common complaint is headaches (although this is more common in red wine drinkers, and has not been proven that sulfites are the culprit) but sulfites can trigger adverse effects in certain people such as asthmatic episiodes, arythmia, or pancreatic complications. For most people though red wine in moderation (which varies, 1 glass per day for women is considered moderate sonsumption) has mostly health benefits. Of course over indulgence in red wine is just as un-healthy as any other alcohol.
Adverse Effects of Alcohol Ingestion
Are There Downsides to Moderate Alcohol Consumption?
The proposed health benefits of alcohol consumption must be evaluated against the adverse effects of alcohol consumption, which include fetal alcohol syndrome, cardiomyopathy, hypertension, hemorrhagic stroke, cardiac arrhythmia, and sudden death. Most of these adverse effects are associated with long-term alcohol consumption with chronic intake of >3 servings of alcoholic beverages per day. Acute alcohol consumption may also have effects on the cardiovascular system that are primarily related to the negative inotropic and proarrhythmic effects of alcohol. Alcohol consumption should never be considered as a preventive measure for teenagers or young adults; automobile accidents, trauma, and suicide are leading causes of mortality in this age group, and use of alcohol can contribute to their incidence. Alcohol is an addictive substance, and adverse effects of drinking occur at more moderate levels in some individuals. An individual’s risk for developing alcoholism is difficult, if not impossible, to determine. There is particular concern about "moderate" alcohol consumption in women. A recent American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology consensus panel statement, "Guide to Preventive Cardiology for Women," 36 suggested that consumption of no more than 1 glass of alcohol per day is appropriate for women. In addition to concerns about prevention of CHD, there is some concern that alcohol intake >50 g/d may be associated with increased breast cancer risk.

For people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), decisions about drinking alcohol can be difficult. At this time, no studies have proven that alcohol either instigates or worsens these conditions, but drinking has been proven to have significant effects on the digestive system as well as the rest of the body.
The function of the liver is to break down toxic substances (such as drugs and alcohol) and filter them from the body. In addition to this important purpose, the liver filters the blood, synthesizes chemicals needed by the body, and stores vitamins, sugars, fats and other nutrients. When alcohol is present in the body, the liver must cease its important functions and deal solely with ridding the body of the toxin.
As a result, fatty acids may build up in the liver.
Alcohol can damage the liver by destroying or altering its cells and may even worsen an existing liver condition. Chronic liver disease is a serious complication that affects from 5 to 15% of IBD patients.

Wine inflates your egoism terribly. Egoism is the greatest barricade to truth and morality.
I do not think that wine is good for the heart.

The more sulfites a wine has, the more likely it can cause headaches
