So you say you drink wine for its ‘health benefits’. Most commonly, people are referring to the health benefit demonstrated by the phenomenon of the “French Paradox”. However, there is growing information about wine’s other benefits. redwinebuzz.com boils it down to the basics and introduces some mitigating facts, but we’re not out to be a buzz kill.
The French Paradox is the most commonly know issue relating to wine’s health benefits. Simply put, the French Paradox is embodied in the following: People in southern France eat a lot of cheeses, butter, ‘organ meats’ (i.e. liver, etc) eggs and other tasty things loaded with cholesterol. We know how bad cholesterol is for you and a diet high in these things causes narrowing or clogging of arteries, most critically those feeding the muscle of the heart (coronary arteries). The paradox is, then, that for the amount of ‘bad’ fats and cholesterol these people consume, they have lower rates of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) than people with similar diets elsewhere.

Tip of the month:
Stinky glasses can spoil your wine. Rinse thoroughly and towel dry with a lint-free towel to prevent accumulation of minerals from tap water which can affect the taste of your wine. The compounds found in wood stains and finishes used on furniture can settle on the glass after even short periods of storage – especially if the furniture is new. Wash and dry stemware that has been stored for a longer time before pouring.
