Wine without the headache?

A Canadian scientist has found a way to produce wine which is much less likely to give you a headache. It's all down to a special type of yeast that has been created by Hennie van Vuuren. The new strain of yeast produces fewer amines (the chemicals in red wine and Chardonnay that produce off flavours and trigger headaches, hypertension and migraines in many people). Great news!

It only took Hennie eight years of research and seven years of testing to get the yeast right.

For more info on the science behind it all check out this article.
