Does white wine do the same? The problem may be a sulfa allergy. Sulfites are used in the preservation of wines and beers. You might be able to bypass your allergy if you go with "organic" wines that are sulfite free.
My wife has the same problem with wine, less-so with beer - which leaves more of the good stuff for me, but is able to get by with the sulfite free wines. She had a severe reaction to sulfa medications as a child. If this ends up being the case, you may want to be wary of commercially made dried coconut as well (very high in sulfites).
