The benefits of red wine can be found in your glass

We can talk endlessly about the benefits of red wine. To identify them we must first understand what red wine contains and why we love it so much. The presence of this wine is widespread throughout the world and appears in films, books and shows. It looks great in glasses, inspires stories of love and romance and the pairings with certain types of food are exceptional. Furthermore, a glass of red wine in the evening concludes the day well.

The benefits of red wine: do you know them?

We enjoy red wines with gusto and, although we choose them for the pleasure of the heart and the joy of the senses, we often forget their benefits. Consumed with moderation and awareness, red wine is a sweet medicine for the body. How much joy of life is there in a glass of wine? Unlimited. And as for the benefits of wine, they follow the same principle.

Of all categories of consumer alcohol, red wine is considered the healthiest. A good, quality wine ennobles the meal or event, but at the same time helps the body. We owe these benefits to the natural antioxidants present in wine which have a positive effect on everyone. In the following lines Crama Gîrboiu presents you with just some of the advantages of red wine.

• The heart continues to love

Or, in translation, wine keeps the heart healthy. The antioxidants mentioned above are responsible for preventing the formation of blood clots. In this way the blood vessels remain free and an uninterrupted flow of circulation is guaranteed. Red wine is good for the heart. The heart pumps normally, the blood circulates naturally and the heart remains strong.

• The taste is maintained with your favorite food

And this remains possible because red wine lowers cholesterol. Several studies published regularly in medical journals tell us that a glass of red wine reduces LDL cholesterol and ensures better functioning of the body. Obviously everything in moderation! Furthermore, red wine is good for anemia and is recommended for those who need more strength.

• It leads to long and happy days

Red wine, it is no secret, prevents the onset of cancer and guarantees longevity to all those who consume it in a controlled manner. Improves digestion and restores nutritional balance. Therefore, it reduces the risk of tumor cell formation.

Drinking red wine relaxes, induces a sense of well-being and therefore keeps depression at bay. A study conducted by the University of Buffalo, in the United States, shows that resveratrol (a substance present in wine) helps reduce stress and prevents depression. Another pertinent reason to enjoy red wine!

How to consume red wine to enjoy its benefits?

It is important to understand that any wine is best enjoyed if you follow some small rules. These rules should not discourage you from buying a wine, on the contrary, they should assure you that wine has different facets that you can discover with a little attention. Perhaps the most important rules for serving red wine are its temperature and decanting.

Temperature

We all know that chilled wine is best enjoyed at “room temperature,” but room temperature also varies from house to house. Therefore light red wines should be served at a temperature between 14-16 degrees centigrade. Stronger wines, with strong personality and pronounced tannins, should be enjoyed at temperatures between 18-19 degrees centigrade. These temperatures will bring out the specific aromas and flavors of red wines for an incredible sensory experience. A red wine served too hot will give the impression of a stale wine while one served too cold will eliminate the aromatic taste of the wine.
You can do tests on the same wine to convince yourself how important the temperature of the wine we are about to drink is. A red wine, in fact, has benefits for the heart, but this does not mean that we cannot enjoy everything it has to offer in terms of taste. An effective way to keep red wines at an ideal temperature is to invest in a small refrigerator or wine cooler. This type of refrigerator is specially designed for wines and can keep bottles at the optimal serving temperature.

Decant

And now let’s talk a little about decanting. Without a doubt, the decanting of red wine is extremely important. To fully enjoy the aromas and healthy benefits of red wine, we must use a good decanter. The decanter is a special glass container into which we can pour the wine so that it “rests” and spreads its aromas. We know it well, your wine only reveals its true flavors when it comes into contact with oxygen. If there is sediment, it reaches the bottom of the decanter and we enjoy the pure liquid in the glass.
Depending on the wine, red wines are decanted for 20 minutes to 2 hours. Furthermore, by decanting, the wine also reveals its beautiful color and when we pour it into our guests’ glasses, we enchant them with rich and irresistible aromas.
