Dehydration

[mrj2004]

I have found a wine that I truly enjoy after reading several of the suggestions on this site....it is Principato Rosso. Anyway, my question is.......Is it normal to wake up totally dehydrated after sharing a bottle of wine? My boyfriend and I split a bottle of the Principato Rosso last night. Both of us woke in the early morning hours and couldn't get enough water. Was it the Wine?

mrj#s' welcome to the board. This happens to be a quetion I'm qualified to answer. I NEVER go to bed at night without at least a 16oz glass of ice water. .....In a word, Wine do dehydrate.WW

I find that a glass of water before I start drinking wine, and a glass of water for every couple of glasses of wine through the night does the trick. Without it, headache and thirst follow.
