There’s been a ton of research regarding the health benefits of drinking a glass of red wine a day and if you need more of an excuse to uncork a bottle, these are the reasons you should enjoy a cup of wine.

Protects Your Heart

Drinking red wine has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, but the actual association between the two may be due to other factors like lifestyle and dietary factors.

Anti-Inflammatory

Red wine has a ton of polyphenols that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These polyphenols can also be found in grapes, peanuts, chocolate, and some berries.

Sharpens Your Mind

The flavanols which are found in wine may protect your body’s cells that support healthy blood vessels which improve blood flow to the brain and prevent plaque from developing.

Promote Longevity

Studies have shown that moderate alcohol use has been linked to living a longer life. Of course, this goes along with eating a healthy diet rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Boosts Mood

It comes as no surprise that moderate alcohol use has been associated with better moods. It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you have a glass of wine with you.

Getting rid of red wine stains is a nightmare. But, when you have the right tools, it won’t be a problem. This DIY wine stain remover is natural and works amazingly fast.

Ingredients:

This is a very basic and natural DIY wine stain remover recipe meant for both white and colored fabrics. There is only one slight difference in the ingredient list. When you are preparing it for colored fabrics you will need 1 tablespoon biodegradable liquid soap, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 4 cups cool water and 2 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide. When it comes to white fabrics, the difference is that the recipe doesn’t include 2 tablespoons hydrogen peroxide. Everything else stays the same.

Procedure:

Get a small bowl and mix everything together. Put some of the mixture on the affected fabric and scratch it with your nails. Shortly after, the stain will turn in a blue or gray color. As time passes, it will only become lighter and lighter. Now, you should get cool water and cover the remainder of the stain with water. This is when the stain should disappear. If it’s a dry stain that happened a few hours earlier, repeat the first part of the procedure with the wine stain remover.

Wine snobbery is a relatively recent thing. It’s something that appears to have come out of marketing campaigns more than it comes from tradition. That means that many of the rules that you’re told to follow when it comes to wine are bunkum.

So with that in mind, here are some wine rules worth breaking:

White Wine Goes With Fish

This rule seems to be based on the idea that all fish are the same. This is, of course, nonsense. In fact, there are many fish that go very well when paired with a red wine such as tuna and swordfish.

Don’t be afraid to go with your instincts when pairing wine with foodstuffs.

Screw-Topped Wine Is Either Cheap Or Nasty

There was a time when this was probably true, but today’s vineyards have learned from that era. Many wines are simply better preserved with a screw top than with a cork. The plastic prevents oxidation and the wine was never meant to be laid down for years to mature. So, don’t let the cap put you off – judge the wine on its merits instead.

Don’t Drink Champagne With Food

More silliness when it comes to food pairing. Champagne can, in fact, be paired with many foods and it’s quite lovely when drunk with a meal.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bd68VehhxvY/?tagged=champagne

Chilling Red Wine Is Bad

No, it isn’t. Not only are French cellars generally much cooler than you might think, but wine is supposed to be served to your taste. If you like your reds cooler than room temperature, don’t be embarrassed to drink them that way.

Only Cook With Wines That You Would Drink

This may be the worst “rule” of all. When you cook with wine, you evaporate the alcohol and change the flavor chemicals completely. What you should be doing is cooking with wine that you wouldn’t drink – your food will taste great and you won’t be wasting good wine.
