Hello, There can be a few reasons to this: 1. Sulphite intolerance - this chemical is high in alcohol based drinks especially wine and although there are claims of sulhpite-free wine I do not know the truth to that claim. This manifests as an asthma-like attacks and usually after a few drinks. Some people can feel becoming short of breath when the wine bottle is opened. 2. Other food allergies - such as nut allergy or wheat intolerance. Nut allergies can be checked with a specific IgE blood test that your doctor can request. You must also ensure that you have not already developed asthma with a full lung function test and get the report checked by a respiratory physician. I hope that helps. Thanks.
