Vancouver scientists take the headache out of red wine

this is one reason for the headache...

The GM yeast doesn't introduce any genetic material to wine that wouldn't have been present anyway in the bacteria used for malolactic fermentation, van Vuuren said.

But figuring out which wines to buy to avoid a histamine headache is no small trick. Winemakers who are using the new yeast are loathe to admit it, fearing public backlash that sometimes accompanies genetic engineering.

the only other way to not produce the Amine is to cold stabilize or sulfate to completely stop the malolactic fermentation... then you don't get that supple taste...
