Red wine headache. Red wine headache (RWH) is a headache often accompanied by nausea and flushing that occurs in many people after drinking even a single glass of red wine.

Some individuals report that they get a migraine headache hours later from drinking some red wines. No one knows for certain why this syndrome occurs. It probably has more than one cause.
