Wine

For Wine Lovers at Heart

Does white or red wine go with veal? Or should I just have a beer? When in doubt, experts say, take the wine and make it white. It may be better for your heart.

Studies have shown that any kind of moderate alcohol intake, say two drinks a day, can reduce coronary artery disease. But researchers from Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, California, found that among imbibers with a preference, those who favored wine were least at risk for heart trouble, and those who drank white wine were even better off.

The study also found that even three or more glasses of wine daily can be beneficial.
