Some studies have found red wine to be more healthful than white wine, but that's as far as it goes. I have not seen evidence that any particular variety of wine is better than any other. Any wine can cause a hangover if you drink too much of it (the alleged health boost comes only from very modest consumption.) While a glass of wine may help a person get to sleep, I very much doubt that wine enhances energy more than any other source of carbohydrates. |

I have personally researched wines for ages and I can tell you that, if taken in excess, they have a soporific effect and will impair energy. The question of a hangover effect is very subjective. I find that heavy reds (such as Merlot) are more likely to produce this effect than a similar quantity of white. I seriously doubt whether any wines are actually beneficial to health, and I suspect that any such claims are propagated by the wine industry. |

O Sublime One Thou hast failed to point out that Dr Atkins departed for another place a few months ago. More relevant would be to find out what Noah and Methusalah used to drink. Now, those guys knew how to live. Bryan |

Bryan... Perhaps the poem on this page will shed some light on that: http://tonesintotreasures.homestead.com/files/Methuselah.html |

Wine is no better for health than any other alcoholic drink. Drinking beer, wine or distilled spirits in moderation is associated with better health and greater longevity than is either abstaining or abusing alcohol. The primary health benefit of alcoholic beverages comes from the alcohol they contain. Standard drinks of beer, wine and liquor (whiskey, gin, rum, vodka, tequila, Scotch, etc.) contain the same anmojhnt of alcohol -- about six-tenths of one ounce.
