Wine has always been a symbol of fun and elegance at the same time. It doesn’t matter whether it is just a simple dinner or a grand wedding celebration. Wines will always bring out a touch of elegance yet fun and festive atmosphere at the same time. Wine can be enjoyed on its own, paired with a meal, and has always been one of the top choices for elegant gifts or exquisite favors such as wine wedding favors. Wines are not cheap, so giving them away means that the receiver is truly someone special.
Red wine particularly has been known to symbolize romance and passion. Because of the red color, it is representative of blood which means life, and others prefer red wine due to the color that is closest to its raw ingredient which is grapes.
Drinking red wine is not just delightful, but it also packs a lot of benefits for your health. Particularly for the heart, studies have shown that drinking red wine on a regular basis can greatly improve your health. According to studies, men and women who consume two glasses and one glass of red wine respectively can cut their risk of heart disease by as much as 30%. This is because red wine, particularly the grapes that it comes from, is loaded with antioxidants and natural agents that keep the heart healthy.
Resveratrol, a natural component of grapes, is known to reduce the level of bad cholesterol and raise HDL or the good cholesterol to a higher level. It has been said that they help prevent blood clots and remove plaque formations in the heart. Resveratrol also helps speed up metabolism, so pharmaceutical companies say that drinking red wine can help you lose or maintain your weight.
If you have no problem drinking alcohol, then slowly incorporate red wine into your lifestyle and pretty soon you can enjoy the benefits. There is a warning though for those who do not drink regularly. Don’t start drinking too frequently at the onset, but instead, start by drinking occasionally and increase consumption as time goes on. Let your body adjust to the alcohol intake. If not, your body will pack up empty calories from the red wine resulting in unwanted weight gain.
Popular red wine grape varieties are Barbera, Zinfandel, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon. Each has a different texture, taste, and characteristics, as unique as their country of origin. Red wine will always be popular for so many reasons, but topping it all is the taste and enjoyment that you get in every single sip of your favorite red wine.
