Drinking White Wine, May Help Keep Lungs Healthy, University At Buffalo Study Finds


In research presented at a meeting of the American Thoracic Society, Holger Schunemann, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine and social and preventive medicine in the UB School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, reported that drinking wine recently and over a lifetime was associated with better lung function.

The study found no association between lung function and total amount of alcohol consumed (some previous studies had found a negative effect), nor between lung health and alcohol from beer, wine coolers or liquor.

"This finding may indicate that nutrients in wine are responsible for the positive effect of alcoholic beverages on lung function," said Schunemann. "Red wine in moderation has been shown to be beneficial for the heart, but in this case the relationship was stronger for white wine."
So, Enjoy a glass of chilled white wine at Smugglers !




Reduced Risk of Coronary Heart Disease
One of the leading health benefits of white wine is its role in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Here's how it works: It's thought that alcohol helps protect against heart disease because it raises the level of "good cholesterol" as well as thins the blood, which reduces buildup or clogging in the arteries.



Is it wrong to drink rosé wine in winter?

Why does rosé wine provoke such social anxiety? 


This week, as the morning air began to nip for the first time this season, I was approached by a friend.
"Is it," she wanted to know, "wrong to feel that it's wrong to drink rosé in winter?"

Crikey. The question appealed to all my most embarrassing foibles. While I always say that the right drink is the one you most feel like at the moment of thirst, it's true that weather as well as mood dictates what I put in my glass. But rosé wine tastes good all year round. I'm not the only one who thinks so – sales continue to surge (11% of all wine bought in supermarkets and off- licences, at the latest count). We are not just buying it during the warmer months.

But have you paused to consider what shade of rosé you choose as the temperature falls? In summer, I long for the pale, barely there salmon hues of Provençal rosés. On a dark and frosty night I am more likely to opt for a chilly glass of translucent, raspberry-hued liquid from the Languedoc or Argentina, not only because it looks beautiful, but its more emphatic flavour somehow feels life-affirming too. In fact, the colder it gets, the darker and more jewel-like the rosé people choose.

In fact, climate seems to affect people's choice of rosé so much that French winemakers deliberately make different colours to send not just to different countries but to different parts of France. They've noticed that in the north, where it's colder, they seem to prefer a deeper shade of pink.

So this winter, just as you did last, hold your head up high and order plenty of rosé, at Smugglers obviously


Since 2008, rose wine has been outselling white wine in France. A rose is a pink-colored wine that is made from red, purple or black grapes. The skins are only in contact with the juice for a short time, thus creating the pink hue. It was a commonly held belief that you drank rose only in the summer, but you may drink it any time. Dry and fruity, chilled rose wine pairs with Mediterranean cuisine and Asian delicacies, among other international fare, as well as most American foods.

HOW TO :

Instructions




Things You'll Need


  • Rose wine
  • Corkscrew
  • Wine glass
    • 1
      Refrigerate your bottle of rose wine for two hours. Ideally rose wine is best when its temperature is approximately 51 to 54 degrees Fahrenheit.
    • 2
      Remove the foil around the top of your rose wine bottle. Uncork the bottle with a corkscrew or other type of wine bottle opener.
    • 3
      Pour your rose into the center of a white wine glass, which is smaller than a red wine glass and tulip-shaped. Pour until the glass is just under half full, and tilt up your bottle and rotate it when you are done pouring to prevent dripping.
    • 4
      Swirl your glass by pressing its bottom into the table while creating a circular motion with your hand. This increases the wine's contact with air, releasing its aroma.
    • 5
      Smell the wine before drinking by bringing the glass to your nose to capture the aroma of the rose. You may store the wine in the refrigerator for up to five days. Let the wine warm up in the room, approximately 4 degrees Fahrenheit every 10 minutes, to the wine's optimal drinking temperature

Easier if you enjoy it at Smugglers !!


Why Red Wine?

The benefits of red wine (in moderation) for health have been known for ages. In an effort to understand the 'French Paradox' (why French people can indulge in fatty foods but not develop heart disease) red wine came into focus in 1991 on an episode of '60 Minutes'. Since then, scientists have been feeding components of red wine to mice and other animals in an attempt to understand the full health benefits.
Here's what we know so far:

Flavanoids and Antioxidants:
Red wine is high in flavonoids (a type of polyphenol), which are antioxidants. One of the most studied antioxidants is resveratrol, which comes from grape skins and seeds. Antioxidants help prevent certain molecules, known as free radicals, from damaging cells.

Does red wine prevent cancer?:
Resveratrol helps prevent cancer by limiting tumour growth.

How much should I drink?:
To receive the benefits of red wine, it must be drunk in moderation (1-2 glasses maximum per day) and regularly.

Does the alcohol help?:
The alcohol in wine may help produce more good cholesterol.

What if I am a yeast cell?:
Good news: Research in yeast cells has shown that red wine can increase life span by 80%.

But can it cure the common cold?:
Red wine has also been shown to help prevent the common cold.

Red wine and French fries:
Red wine, when consumed with fried foods, may limit the damage caused.

Conclusion:
Hundreds of studies show evidence that red wine, in moderation, is good for us.
So go ahead and enjoy a glass or two with dinner at Smugglers Obviously !
