Has anybody found that sparkling wine makes your joints ache more than usual?

I don't know but have often wondered about the link between alcohol and how sore my joints are sometimes. Always thought I was imaging it!

Trial and error I guess. Ax

Possible reasons: alcohol is pro-inflammatory, triggers histamine production, and many alcohols including wine have endotoxins from mould that grows on grape skins. I found a chart online that showed how much was in wines from different countries and Chilean wine was very low (maybe because it’s a dry climate there?).
