    I’ve bought alcohol free wine in Canada and Japan. They were ok, but it makes me want to drink the real thing even more so I stay away from it. And I think my body still reacts to the tiny bit left in it because I can feel my face get warm and red (I have that crappy Asian genes that doesn’t process alcohol).

      That might also be a reaction to the histamines common in wine and well cured cheese. Some people are very sensitive to that and have allergy like symptoms.

        Oh! I had no idea! I don’t think I get that from well-cured cheese, but tbh, I haven’t had good cheese in a while since it’s so expensive to get in Japan. I do have sensitive skin too, so you might be on to something!
