Sauvignon Blanc wine called Marlborough Sounds

[June Jackson]

Hi all,

I have just joined although I was diagnosed with dermatitis herpetiformis and Celiacs in 2016.

I have maintained a healthy lifestyle staying gluten free, but have been caught out a few times and became quite ill when I had food that had gluten in it, thinking it was gluten-free.

Has anyone had a problem with a New Zealand  Sauvignon Blanc wine called Marlborough Sounds, I was really ill after drinking it and I know I didn't have anything to eat with gluten.

Thanks for any replies

Hi @June Jackson and welcome to the forum

I am just wondering if you have had this problem on more than one occasion with this wine?

Hi Christina,

I had a slight reaction last week to it when I first bought it, but I wasn't sure it was the wine, as wine is supposed to be gluten free, bought another one this week to have with a meal and have been terribly ill since yestetday, it was the only item that could have had gluten as everything else I had was clear 🙂

Yes, that does sound as if there might be a link.  I would think it might be worth sending an email to the producers and asking them if there is any involvement with wheat, barley or rye in the wine's manufacture.  It can happen (see link below).

However, nothing to do with wine, but on three separate occasions I have had what I can only explain glutening type symptoms - chills, diarrhea, nausea, flushed face -  after eating, of all things, broccoli.  There is no gluten in broccoli, but honestly there might as well be.  I really can't fathom why this happened - I suppose it could just be an intolerance in this case.  Perhaps it could be the same for you?

Thanks for the link Christina, I have already checked that  today.

I keep a very tight rein on what I eat, very careful, so I can't understand why this has happened and I am quite concerned, usually I don't really worry about it, I am very careful about my food.

I have silent celiacs so I don't have any symptoms until I inadvertantly eat gluten.

After about two to three hours have passed since I have eaten anything with gluten I start to feel sick, then start to vomit until my stomach and system has emptied, by then  my hair is totally soaking and wet from head to toe and I am very weak, I have to lie down, the effect lasts till the next day until my body will accept food again, so you can why I am afraid of getting gluten in my food and drink 😔

Absolutely, it takes about that long with me - in the early days when I took a few risks and ate a places I would never eat today, I usually found the symptoms struck me in the car park on my way home, or at home.

Anyway, hopefully others will chime in but if you hear from the wine producers do let us know what they say.
