Proof! Wine Health Benefits

In the past 10-15 years, many researches have been conducted on Wine health benefits on our healthy lifestyle, or not so healthy life style. They have all concluded that Red Wine in particular have enormous benefits on our cardiovascular system and to a lesser extent on other bodily systems.

These researches have shown that flavonoids and antioxidant, is present in abundance in Red wine. Flavonoids reduced the risk of heart disease by controlling our cholesterol levels.

As mentioned before, moderate consumption of Wine has other health benefits to other parts of the body. Wine health benefits have been shown to extend to fighting cancer and other degenerative disease. Present in the skin of grapes is a substance called resveratrol, it has been shown to extend life in the lab, and it also has tumor inhibiting activities on some cancers.

Wine health benefits have been around for a long time. Even heard of the "French paradox", well it goes like this, a news report on French lifestyle brought to our attention the fact the French diet is rich in meat, cheese, butter and other high cholesterol foods, but yet their rate of heart disease and death associated with heart disease is considerably lower than elsewhere in the world.

Do the French know something that others do not know - maybe not. But they also consume allot of wine, and this is believed to be the cause of the lower heart disease rate.

Should you move to France? I don't know, but you can try to consume a glass of wine when you eat. Preferably red wine, it is good for you and it seem to have more of the health benefits than others.

Cheers to you health

Wine Society For Your Reading Pleasure

Wine Basket Ideas


The early history of wine consumption in America was dominated by immigrants whom were primarily Catholic, and of Central or Southern European descent. The bulk of wine-drinking immigrants came from the wine loving nations of France, Italy, Germany, and Spain. They descended from cultural traditions that valued social wine consumption with the evening meal.





Thinking of giving wine baskets as gifts to your friends? Wine baskets can accommodate any occasion. It is up to your own creativity of how you can make that perfect gift for your loved ones. Wine gift baskets are great symbols of celebration and merriment. It also exudes a sense of elegance and distinctiveness that is perfect for holiday celebrations like Christmas, Valentines day, or Thanksgiving day. Here are some things that will aid you with this matter.

Learn the art of Wine Tasting





Post Honeymoon celebration





If you have a friend or family member that just got married and are about to come home from their honeymoon, giving a wine basket is a great idea. What a pleasant surprise it would be to find out that a wine basket filled with an excellent bottle of wine, chocolate almonds, cheese as well as crackers is waiting at the door step. It is a good symbolic gift that expresses you wish for them to have a very happy and fruitful life as a married couple.





Reminiscing old times





Do you have someone in mind that you rarely see? Don't let this situation hamper your relationship with this person. Send a wine basket with a theme that is close to both your hearts. Distance shouldn't hinder you from remembering someone that you consider to be special in your life.

Busy schedules





Are you always on the run and you feel that you no longer spend enough time with your special someone? No matter how hectic you are right now, spending a few minutes to send your partner a bottle of wine to remind this person how much he or she means to you is a golden opportunity to re-affirm your love.





Proud and fulfilled





Wine is a fitting way to express your pride and fulfillment over an accomplishment or that of someone that is very dear to you. A great way to celebrate the present and look toward the future with optimism and resolve.







These are some of the themes that you can incorporate into your very own design. Don't limit yourself to conventional ideas, use your imagination and creativity to come up with something that is truly unique and special. There is nothing better than giving a gift to someone special that you designed yourself. That person will appreciate your gift all the more since it is one of a kind and truly a labor of love on your part.





Using about a yard and a half of surgical rubber tubing or plastic tubing, siphoning is a very simple operation. First, put the bottles or jars of wine on a table and the empty bottles on a stool or box on the floor. Next, put one end of the tubing in the first bottle of wine and suck the other end of the tube until the wine comes; pinch the tube at your lips and - holding on tight - put this end in the empty bottle and then let the wine flow. As the level of the wine falls, lower the tube into it, being careful not to let it touch the lees. When nearly all of the wine has been transferred, pinch the tube at the neck of both bottles, put one end into the next bottle and allow the wine to flow again.
