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.

What's your wine of choice? Red or White

What specifically? Grape-wise

How much do you drink?

We spend more on red wine than white, at the moment I'm loving NZ semillions etc, though usually I try and and enjoy what WA has to offer (so much to enjoy)

20 years ago my quaffer of choice (budget) was cask wine, now it's in the $20 range. When I want a nice bottle f white I will spend up to $40. Reds on the other hand.........I will try anything and spend almost anything, but Penfolds Bin 28 is my quaffer.

Love going down to Margaret River and trying new wineries/wines. I never look at the price before tasting, and this has meant we have bought some cheap wine that i love and some **bleep** expensive stuff too.

I remember reading something by Len Evans years ago. He said something like (cos I can't remember the exact quote)

"I can only drink a certain number of bottles of wine before I die so if I drink a bottle of plonk, it's like smashing a bottle of Grange against the wall."

Of course, this comes from someone who can afford to drink Grange.Wish I could.
