A new Scientific Reports study links a grape-skin pigment, quercetin, to red wine headaches in some drinkers.
Quercetin may block ALDH2, preventing breakdown of acetaldehyde and triggering headaches.
About 8% of people may have ALDH2 deficiency, increasing susceptibility to red wine headaches.
Researchers plan further testing on people who develop these headaches to confirm findings.
White wine may pose less risk since grape skins are removed during production.
The study highlights a millennia-old mystery and points to a concrete mechanism behind red wine headaches.
Researchers hope to develop interventions, potentially supplementing ALDH2 for at-risk individuals.
The findings contrast red and white wine as a possible cause for headaches due to grape skin contact.
The study is anchored by expert input from UCSF and seeks ongoing scientific validation.
The report suggests potential consumer guidance for wine choices based on individual sensitivity.

New research finds Antarctica's gravity hole has intensified over tens of millions of years.
Scientists mapped the gravity hole 70 million years ago to study its changes.
The study used global earthquake recordings to illuminate the Earth's interior.
Researchers say gravity shifts may relate to sea level changes via ice sheet growth.
The authors caution that the gravity hole is not a definitive causal link to ice growth.
The research aims to understand how Earth’s interior shapes gravity and sea levels.
The study links Antarctic climate changes to the formation of glaciers and sea level impacts.
Futurism reports the work is published in Scientific Reports by Forte and Glišović.
The team used a CT-scan analogy to describe how earthquake waves reveal Earth's interior.
The researchers aim to test whether sea level changes are directly influenced by the gravity hole.
