Heart Healthy Wines..

Ok everyone's heard that wine can be good for you in moderation, but I'm definitely not one to let an open bottle sit around for more than one evening.. I need to work on sticking to one glass with dinner rather than half the bottle, but also I just found this interesting bit of information, from FitnessCoach.com that ranks the wines from Most to Least healthy:


Opting for that glass of Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner may do more for you than just add zest to your meal. Studies over recent years have suggested that flavanoids in wine are linked to improved cholesterol levels and healthier hearts. You should always drink in moderation (and never if taking some medications).

Check out these suggested wines (from most to least healthy, in terms of flavanoids):

  • Cabernet Sauvignon
  • Petit Syrah
  • Pinot Noir
  • Merlot
  • Red Zinfandels
