Abstract
The concept of dietary migraine as a clinical entity remains controver sial. We review here such objective evidence that has been put forward for its existence. Red wine, in particular, is commonly alleged to in itiate attacks in susceptible individuals. We discuss how some of its recently described pharmacological properties might trigger off the se quence of events Leading to migrainous headache.
