Cheap Wine Reco

Summer brings salad and seafood at our house.  Need a refreshing white wine with an acid flavor?  Anyone who hates Chardonnay will love this Woodbridge Sauvingon Blanc.  About $9-10 for a regular bottle, so it’s perfect for a Tuesday night grilled shrimp dish.

Wino No More

 

We love some vino around here, but fitsugar.com posted five reasons why one glass is better than two (we always thought it was the other way around).  Take it or leave it, but good to know regardless.  And happy Friday!
  1. One glass of wine a day can reduce you risk of having a heart attack, but two glasses of wine a day increases your chance for developing breast cancer.
  2. One glass of wine a day can increase bone strength, but two or more glasses daily can weaken bones. This decrease in bone density can put you at risk for developing osteoporosis.
  3. One glass of red wine a day may help you stay thin, but two or more glasses a day may raise the fats found in your blood
  4. Drinking wine in moderation may help improve your ability to create and maintain memories, but two or more glasses, especially when coupled with tobacco use, canhasten the onset of Alzheimer’s.
  5. Drinking one glass of wine a day can lower your chances of having a stroke, but drinking more can raise your chances of having one.
