We tend to be fairly conscious of how we fuel our bodies in terms of food, but what about the health benefits of what we choose to drink? So long as it is done in moderation, there is a fairly convincing case to be made for the benefits of drinking wine.

As such, the consumption of wine as a daily ritual, rather than a luxury, came to symbolize sustenance and nourishment. Arguably, this point of view continues to prevail to this day, as the health benefits of wine are still widely studied and recognised. In particular, red wine has long been considered ‘heart healthy’.
