Wine and Health: can we mix these two words?

Many people are concerned that drinking wine might be dangerous for your health in the long run (especially if you drink too much…). Well that’s actually true but if you follow some simple rules it might not be that bad…

Here are a few arguments for that:
- wine provides different types of vitamins for your health.

- isn’t it good to enjoy some good wine with great food (think about a nice fish with some amazing French Wine from Bordeaux… As Georges Clooney would say, “What else?”). Be careful with wine pairings. You would have a bad experience if you mix the wrong wine with some great food and vice versa.

- Some of the oldest people of the world have been drinking Wine for years and years… They would probably drink one glass of Red Wine a day and they would feel happy and healthy about it!!! What’s wrong with that? If they like it and it’s good for their health, it might be a lesson for us…

- Addiction is a problem but there is a long way before you might become addicted… Again, wine can be a problem and bad for your health if you drink too much but if you have certain boundaries you should be fine…

Bon appetit!

A lot of people in the world believe that French wine is the best and it offers the most refined wine in the world.

There are many attributes to French wine: many different regions (Loire Valley, Bourgogne, Bordeaux, Alsace or Languedoc Roussillon). Indeed, you get so many different tastes: fruity, heavy or light, dark, brown, sparkling,… It’s endless.

Many websites offer the opportunity to wine lovers to read detailed wine reviews but also advice for wine pairing: does that make sense to eat red wine with fish? does that make sense to eat foie gras with rose? can you drink rose during winter? To all those questions, the answer is no but there are some possible nuances to that…

Usually, don’t listen to your neighbors at the table when they tell you: “you should get wine X from vineyard Y from this amazing region Z” because they have no idea about your taste and usually your taste is very unique. You might have been educated to wine (or not) and according to how you learnt how to enjoy good wine, your tasting could be very different. For example, when you consider french wine, there are so many different types of wines that it’s impossible to figure out will suit your needs and your taste. On top of that, according to the type of food, the type of restaurant, the temperature and your mood, you might want something that is completely different and that makes the whole difference!

For all these reasons, if you want to enjoy good wine that fits your taste and your needs, just be patient and read wine reviews to figure out which wine you like and what makes you excited about a wine. On top of that, if you have the chance to do some wine tasting with “wine makers”, “c’est la cerise sur le gateau”!
