The Wine of the Month Club Wonders: How Much Wine Is Healthy?
Vintners often tuck away carefully chosen barrels of their wines for their own personal use. In the hands of an expert winemaker, these wines will display unique characteristics and enchanting flavors that will elevate your senses. The goal of the Wine of the Month Club is to provide members with a memorable Wine of the month that has a clearly perceptible edge over other perfectly satisfactory wines. Today's topic will be good news for those who enjoy wine regularly: an ever-increasing body of evidence shows moderate wine consumption is a healthy way to live!
But wine, like all alcoholic beverages, can be a blessing or a curse. If a little makes a good medicine, that doesn't mean that more is better. Overindulging is an invitation to immediate injury for those who are foolish enough to drive when drunk, and for those who drink too much on a regular basis, long-term health problems can ensue.
How much is too much? Most authorities recommend less than a half bottle per day. Regular moderate consumption, along with meals, is much safer than occasional "binge" drinking, like massive weekend overindulgence. And most men can safely consume a bit more than most women, because of the differences in metabolism.
AWARE, the nonprofit American Wine Alliance for Research and Education, says: "Although there is continuing debate within the medical/scientific research community as well as among policy makers on the precise definition of moderate drinking, there appears to be fairly wide reference to the following parameters: 1 to 2 drinks per day for women, and 2 to 3 drinks per day for men." Cheers!
