Question about phosphate in wines

First let me say I am no wine expert. So I'm hoping this is not a dumb question.

I enjoy white wines, primarily Chardonnays, and Pinot Grigios. They suit my tastes very well. With certain meals I enjoy a good red, such as Merlot.

I have had reactions to just a glass or two of white wine, where I have a terrible headache the next day. I have heard that this could be related to phosphate content in wines, and that maybe I am sensitive to it.

I do not yet know if there is truth to that. Hoping someone here can educate me a bit. What exactly is the deal with phosphates and wines? If it is true, I do not know how to tell, when buying wines, which ones to choose. How do I select a good wine?

Thanks!
