indigestible

If you have trouble sleeping after drinking wine One common inorganic substance is Phenol which improves the colour of the wine and is used usually but not solely on inexpensive wines. Another one is Bentonite which is used in clarification in particular of white wines. It is a silica clay which picks up the organic proteins left by the grapes. If left in the wine, these proteins would denature and form long molecular strands. This process would result in wine that is either hazy or has loose sediment floating in it. Two to three pounds of Bentonite clarifies 1,000 gallons of wine. Several other fining agents exist. Sparkaloid, a diatomaceous earth, clarifies white and red wine

Bentonite is not used in German wines were Isinglass is more commonly used This is prepared from the bladder of the sturgeon Again problems can be caused by drinking unfiltered wines which have not been decanted, or left standing upright for 24 hours It is interesting to note that some Californian wines are marked "unfiltered" which means it has not passed through a filtering substance, such as a plastic micropore filter. "Unfined" wines have not had a clarifying agent passed through them To summarise the main culprit for headaches, and other effects is inorganic substances which the body cannot digest, and as to await the body cleansing mechanism to remove them. I hope that these précised notes will be of value.
