A mate gave me a bottle of his fruity rose wine but after I drank the bottle, I noticed red blotches over my face,neck,arms and hands. I've never had this before with any drinks. Has anyone experienced this? Is it serious?
+1 to this. I am allergic to mussels and crayfish and get the same reaction the OP describes. I also get the reaction when I drink some white wines (particularly prosecco and Italian whites) and very occasionally with some commercial beers. I blame chitosan finings, but have not had it confirmed in any way (GP very uninterested). I recently checked some finings in a shop and they were made with chitosan, so if that's what your mate used, that could be to blame.iceo said:what about shellfish? some finings are made from shellfish
