Sodium metabisulfite maybe?
Most commercial businesses (and some home brew people too) use it to clean the bottles, causes havoc with lots of people via broncho-restriction and can even bring on an asthma attack.
Yeah, nasty stuff that.... :P
Stops me from enjoying a wide range of beers that have this chemical in the process train - severe asthma attacks strike within minutes....

but commercial beer & wine either makes me feel very sick very fast or I just can’t drink more than a bottle without feeling “gassed up” or nauseous.

Coopers, of SA, nurture a secondary fermentation to carbonate their "cloudy" beers within the bottle or can, so pasteurisation and filtration is avoided as it would kill the yeast responsible for this process. Thats why there is sludge in the bottom of their bottles.
I cant help you with your palate, but the beer problem is likely due to the pasteurisation method used by the majority of major breweries! Keeps it "fresh", apparently... :-/
I was wondering how many other CS’rs were like me.
I have a ridiculously good/sensitive sense of smell. When I’m pouring my shot in my ‘bottom of the range machine’ (0450 grinder and 4800), I can smell blonding. It smells sour, almost like urine sometimes. When I crack open a freshly roasted (rested for a day or so) pack of coffee, the smell is too much (nice from afar), and I could never whiff it freshly ground. But I love a ristretto shot poured directly over ice with a shot of soy-milk. It’s my staple .
I much prefer roasted coffee consumed in a week from roasting, depending on how dark the roast is.
I’m not into commercial beer, and most wine. I don’t know why. I can drink home brewed beer until I fall over, but commercial beer & wine either makes me feel very sick very fast or I just can’t drink more than a bottle without feeling “gassed up” or nauseous.
I dont know anyone else like this, but I thought this would be the place of all places.
