Is Wine Bad for Me?

Is Wine Bad for Me?

I've been contemplating on this question recently. I guess it depends on which decade you ask the experts.
I don’t know if wine is bad for me....
But I do know this.
Wine is good for me.
A glass of wine delineates the day. It’s a signal to my brain: The workday is over. Relax. Now.
It makes cooking dinner feel less like a chore and more like an event.
It makes a Tuesday night dinner feel a little more special.
It makes an hour with a good book feel like a little vacation.
Is any of that good for my health? I don’t know. I think it is.
Stress is really bad for you too, you know?
And just think of all those winemakers who lived into their 90s….So I’m not going to tell you that your nightly glass of Cabernet is a health food. But I don’t know—it’s hard to convince me that something that makes me slow down, relax, enjoy my dinner and savor the end of the day is entirely bad for me.
I don’t know know this. But I know this.
You know what I mean?
