A new study suggests that sipping a glass of wine daily could reduce the risk of heart attack.

Researchers from the University of Barcelona, led by Professor Ramon Estruch, published their findings in the European Heart Journal.

The team investigated the effects of wine consumption on heart health by studying 1,232 adults with an average age of 68.

They analyzed food and beverage intake surveys and measured tartaric acid (a key wine component) in urine samples at the start and a year into the study.

Results showed that those who enjoyed half to a full glass of wine per day had a 50% lower risk of developing heart disease, surpassing the effectiveness of some medications like statins.

Even those who drank less than one glass of wine a week experienced a 38% reduction in risk. However, no benefits were observed for individuals who consumed more than one glass of wine daily.

The researchers caution that these findings might not apply to everyone, as the study focused on older adults in Mediterranean countries.

Wine isn’t just a treat for your taste buds—it’s also packed with vitamins, sugars, organic acids, polyphenols, and minerals.

Red wine, in particular, is known for its benefits in preventing obesity, enhancing cognitive function, reducing depression, and delaying aging.

Additionally, a British study found that wine improves gut health and lowers LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, commonly known as bad cholesterol.

The recommended daily wine intake is one glass (150 mL).
