Wine of the Times

A quick wine update:
The switch to foreign white wines has really helped my rosacea (which is also improved by adhering to a gluten and casein free diet, a I am intolerant to both). I have also had no further bouts of waking up with the symptoms of a bad cold after a glass of wine.

As much as I formerly loved red wine, somehow, the switch has fully converted me into a drinker of white. Red now tastes quite alcoholic to me and almost immediately stuffs up my nose. And oddly enough, it seems that more and more people I know have made the switch to whites as well. It used to seem that everyone drank red, but now, every time I have a sip among friends, someone is mentioning his/her poor reaction to red wine.
