Allergic to red wine? Maybe yes… maybe no….

Dear Wine Ladies,

Could you please tell me what ingredients or process of winemaking some one could have allergies to?  I am not allergic to tannins or alcohol, and have been unsuccessful in finding an answer to why I am allergic to wine.  Could certain grapes specifically or certain regions be the problem?
