WINE HEADACHES SUCK!
I think most of us have been plagued at one time or another with a wine headache.
Being a person who loves my wine and plans to continue enjoying it for many years to come, I've learned the triggers that affect me and how best to avoid them.
First and foremost, don't be too quick to blame wine when you're not drinking enough water. Dehydration is the single biggest cause of wine headaches.
In this helpful article the folks at Wine Folly explore some myths and facts surrounding wine headaches and offer 3 simple remedies to banish them from your life.

WHEN CAN I DRINK MY WINE?
Customers ask us every day how they will know when their wine is ready to drink.
Although most wines that you make from Wine Kitz products may be consumed quite young (particularly if you aerate the wine before serving), all will benefit from at least a little aging and many will improve considerably with time.
At Wine Kitz Ottawa Iris we're big on taste testing. If you're wondering how your wine is doing, simply open a bottle and taste it. You'll know if it's ready to share, or if it still needs a few more weeks or months to develop it's character.
If you follow these 3 simple rules you can't go wrong:
Rule #1: The longer you leave your wine, the better it will get.
Rule #2: When it tastes good to you, it's ready to drink.
Rule #3: Even if it tastes good to you, remember Rule #1.
Over the years we've had great customer stories of our early-drinking and fruit wine products being bottled one day and served at a gathering a few days later to rave reviews. Most customers find these wines perfect for early enjoyment with good balance and lots of flavour.
Our premium wines are more structured and can benefit from a few months of aging. Over time, these wines will become smoother on the palate with layers of flavour.
And our ultra premium wines are exceptionally rich, full wines that appreciate additional time to develop a fine balance and reflect their complex flavour structure.
