Ever wonder if some wines are
healthier for you than others? One might suspect those with lower alcohol and
less sugar would be, especially since these contain more calories. As much as
that may be the case, science has shown that red wines with the darkest colour
are. They contain more anthocyanins (plant-based antioxidants like resveratrol)
which reduce risks of heart disease and stroke. Dark coloured reds usually come
from warmer, sunnier climates because the grapes are exposed to more ultraviolet
light with higher heat units and more intense sunlight. So if you’re looking
for a healthier wine to serve to guests this holiday season, try choosing those
from a warmer climate, perhaps closer to the equator.
