Cheninitis is a mild medical condition characterized by transient physical discomfort following the overindulgence in chilled white wine. May be regionally referred to as Chardonitis or Sauvignon Flu.
Clinical Features:
Symptoms typically begin within hours of consumption and may include:
- Gastroesophageal reflux or mild heartburn due to wine acidity
- Facial flushing and a sensation of mild overheating despite drinking a cold beverage
- Mild euphoria followed by transient melancholia — sometimes called “the Chardonnay slump”
-Dry mouth and dehydration, especially the following morning
- Questionable decisions and overzealous charcuterie pairing
- Social loquacity followed by sudden fatigue or withdrawal
Diagnosis:
Diagnosis is clinical and based on history of recent cold white wine consumption in excess, often confirmed by the presence of empty bottles and enthusiastic dinner photos on social media.
Management:
- Hydration with water or electrolyte solutions
- Rest in a cool, quiet environment
- Analgesia (e.g., ibuprofen or paracetamol) as needed
- Avoidance of further white wine consumption until full recovery
- Gentle exercise and bland food may aid recovery
Prognosis:
Excellent. Symptoms typically resolve within 12–24 hours with conservative measures. Recurrence is common, particularly in social or brunch settings.

We had a great evening on the patio last night. Good friends, fine food and wine, but today I'm suffering from a mild bout of Cheninitis.....

Get the Cheninitis mug.A medical condition involving severe and acute inflammation of the cherna gland. The cherna glands are responsible for converting men into flaming homosexuals and cry babies. CPH (cherna-promoting-hormone) is the principle hormone that acts on the enlarged labia (replacing testicles) in the gonadal region. The increased CPH causes bitching, whining and a general lack of testicular fortitude. Due to a lack of testicles, chernitis can be relieved by testosterone injections anally. A secondary treatment, would be the administration of COM (can of man) and a bitch slap across the face.

A physical handicap, characterised by an extremely wide chin. The affliction is named after Mclaren Grand Prix driver, David Coultard, who has the most serious case documented thus far.
News just in; Grand Prix driver, David Coultard has been sacked by racing outfit Mclaren. It was said that pre-season testing had not gone well as planned, as Coultard's battle with chinitis, had left the team with an aerodynamic quandry. Apart from modifications having had to be made to the wind tunnel, in order for the Grand Prix veteran's chin to have enough clearance room, adjustments to the rear wing were fruitless, as they could not compensate for chin mediated resistance and drag factors.
Team owner Ron Dennis said: "David and I have discussed the decission at length. It is unfortunate. I do not want to sound uncompassionate, but there is literally no room for chinitis in motor sport"
Coultard is said to be undergoing chinitis treatment, starting with a chin hypoplasmia opporation. If all goes well, Coultard can expect a 5 inch reduction in chin girth. This may tept Minardi into offering him a contract, although possible contraindications to the proceedure such as massively increased testicular size, may hinder entrance and exit from the cock pit.
