There is a dizzying amount of articles touting the benefits of drinking red wine in moderation ...but are some red wines more beneficial for you than others? Is a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon better for your heart versus a Pinot Noir from Russian River? Is a Central Coast Syrah just what the doctor ordered for the old ticker?
Two articles discuss two lesser-known wines; one from the southwest portion of France (where they grow the grape, Tannat), and another wine from Sardinia, Italy (known for growing Cannonau, a.k.a.: Grenache). They also add that it is not Reservatrol that we should be concerned with, but instead, procyanidins.
Interesting. Keep in mind that the people they are studying are living in small provincial towns in Europe where they have different lifestyles and diets than in the U.S. The optimist in me wants to believe that drinking the right kind of wine would allow us to reap some great cardiac benefits. Below are the articles.
