This is a guest post written by Thomas from My Wine Fridge.

Many studies have shown that red wine is beneficial to one’s health. Whether you enjoy a Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux or Pinot Noir (don’t be intimidated by the fancy names, many conisseurs also have problems with pronunciation), you can benefit from drinking red wine.

Health Benefits from enjoying a glass of red wine include:

1. Lower estrogen levels in women

2. Decreased risk of heart conditions

3. Decreased risk of certain cancers

As with anything, red wine should be consumed responsibly and moderately. This should always coincide with one’s personal situation, so be sure to consult your physician before taking on your very own wine regimen.
