This study showed the high prevalence of hypersensitivity symptoms following alcoholic drink consumption in an adult general population and the association of these symptoms with the prevalence of allergic rhinitis and asthma.

This study did not support a major role of the sulphite additives in wine-induced asthmatic response in patients studied with a well performed challenge test. They considered that the changes following wine challenge were not consistent with a single cause.

In this study, residuals of fining agent proteins and the stabilizer lysozyme were investigated in various German wines, which showed no detectable amounts of fining agents except for dried egg white and lysozyme. They concluded that adverse reactions against egg proteins in treated wines could not be excluded.
