Wine and Health
According to experts, a healthy balanced diet should include foods rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, mostly in the form of vegetables, fruits and vegetables. In this sense, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best known and recommended, and the wine is an essential component. Among his countless benefits of wine should be noted that:
- Moderate consumption of wine is not only beneficial in preventing coronary disease type, but type cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s or depression, according to the American Heart Association
- Moderate wine consumption reduced by 20% the risk of cancer, myocardial infarction or cerebral vascular complications accidents.

One of the most marked up by the experts is that these drinks should be consumed in moderation and regular. In this sense, the best thing would be a couple of glasses a day, preferably at mealtimes, because this way the alcohol is absorbed more slowly and polyphenols protect the body from oxidation of fats. We must not forget that wine is a good antioxidant to contain polyphenols and resveratrol. The high concentration of these substances helps reduce LDL cholesterol levels, improving circulation and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
How to Serve Wine
We recommend glasses colorless, transparent glass with which to judge the wine’s color clearly. As for the shape of the glass, we suggest you have a balloon or tulip. These are the best ways to appreciate the aromas.
1.Cut the capsule below the neck, being careful not to drag the small plastic particles serve.
2.When you uncork not spin the bottle corkscrew.
3.It looks and smells like cork, because if this can be damaged or moldy indicating that the wine is spoiled.
4. Removes the first drops in a glass aside, possibly to contain residues of cork.
5.The wine must be tasted prior to their service. The glass should be half filled, so that by a slight twisting motion can better appreciate the aroma of wine.
