Each time I visit someone and am offered an exotic white wine, i feel guilty for saying yes. That’s because we are being inundated with the “drink red wine, prevent dementia/heart disease/stroke/cancer/boredom mantra.
So red wine is the elixir of the gods then, since it keeps everyone from your brain, heart, digestive system to your stomach and spouse in prime condition. That’s provided you don’t binge on it of course. Women they say should stick to one glass, and naturally it’s double of that for men.
Are we kidding here? No, look at the French. They hardly exercise, eat fair amounts of saturated fats, smoke their fancy cigarettes, and still boast healthy hearts. So the trick lies in that bottle of wine on your dinner table then?
Some trivia:
*French Wine is labeled after the region not the grape.
*Most people buy wine to share a good time and enjoy themselves.
*Only a very tiny minority buy wine for speculation.
*Wine is still the best way to link people together!
