Wine, Alcohol or Beer Allergies
An allergy or Type I hypersensitivity is a immune malfunction whereby a person's body is hypersensitised to react immunologically to typically nonimmunogenic substances. When a person is hypersensitised these substances are known as allergens. The word allergy derives from the Greek words allos meaning 'other' and ergon meaning 'reaction' or 'reactivity'.
