The latest scientific research shows regularly drinking one or two standard  drinks daily of wine or other alcohol provides positive health benefits for most  people.

Whether it's heart disease, many types of cancer, diabetes, dementia or  stroke, a large body of evidence now exists that shows light to moderate  consumption compared to abstaining or heavy drinking can help keep a range of  diseases at bay.

Re: Let's talk about Wine

Well that looks stupid. There were answers in my post, I promise.

 

I drink white wine, Moscato or Crouchen Riesling. I havent a clue about grapes specifically and Im not adventurous with trying new wine, I drink what I know I like.

 

How much?? a couple of glasses on a Friday/Saturday night. Or a slow summer arvo.

 

Typically, I spend around $15 a bottle, sometimes a lot less though.

Re: Let's talk about Wine

Crouchen Reisling is possibly my least favourite wine in the world and also Martini, I can't drink sweet wine. Crouchen seems to be one that young women like a lot.

 

I like Riesling and sauvignon blanc.  It's got to be fresh and dry.  I like red wine but rarely drink it so I don't know which one I like the best.  I'm going to try to work my way through all of the South WA wines.  If I'm going to have the tag then I might as well be happy about it Smiley Very Happy

I'm surprised how popular Moscato has been last couple of years. People seem to follow some trend. 

 

I do like a good Shiraz and pinot Noir.
