Now that has got your attention!! 😊
I have copd and enjoy a occasional glass of red when dinning
Are there any recommendations for the best type to drink to prevent shortness of breath/breathing issues. I have problems with drinking just one glass.
Cheers.
Lol I don't drink myself but have you thought about a mixer with it in a highball glass and ice like a spritzer xxx
You would probably enjoy this:

... but the cost may increase your breathlessness!
That will be great in the Summer.
I have problems just drinking one glass... I often have to have more 
I'm led to believe cheap red wines are often enhanced by colour additives which affect asthmatics, so maybe that's a clue.
I notice some make me wheeze a little if I've got a chest cold. Mostly though it doesn't affect me, but I haven't had a certain diagnosis as to what is the cause of my symptoms, COPD, Asthma, or a bit of both... or summat else they can't be bothered to determine.
But for example I'm not affected by any Yellow Tail red (Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon) or Castillero Del Diablo Cabernet or Merlot... or Bushland Shiraz (Aldi)... so that's my lunch sorted.
Resveratrol is supposed to be good for the heart. I have Rioja as it is supposed to be higher - and I love it!
The darker the wine, the more anthocyanin there is in it. Polyphenols multiply in humid weather and when grape skins are exposed to ultraviolet light. Creasy found that all New York wines-- not just Pinot Noir, but also Merlot and other wine varieties -- had significantly higher resveratrol content overall.14 Apr 2015
It is possible that the sulphur dioxide may aggravate any breathing issues. Most wines have it as a preservative, often shown as sulphite on the label.
It is one of the EU mandatory allergen labeling requirements so will always be shown if present. Some wines don't use it but are often more expensive eg 'organic'. May be worth your while to check labels when shopping.
Wine struggle?
