can you have an allergic reaction to sparkling wine?

This is the 2nd year in a row I've had M&R Asti Spumante for new years, my huband and I split the bottle, so I had almost half of a 750ml bottle, but my face got bright red and felt tight, I checked my blood pressure and it sky rocketted to 177/102!! It's usually perfectly normal. could I be having some kind of allergic reaction to it? It seems like I had this happen years ago with margaritas but I drank at my company Christmas party a few weeks ago but it didn't really happen then.

Yes, you can be allergic to wine (or anything else).

Get checked by an allergist to see what is going on. Allergies can become worse over time.

My mother had a moderate allergic reaction to alcohol a couple of times before she had a severe reaction that almost killed her. Fortunately, the office party where she had the severe reaction was at a medical office.

I am allergic to all alcohol. My face and body get huge red blotches all over and wines that have been treated with sulfites is an even worse reaction.

It's just not worth it for me to consume any alcohol.
