A glass of wine is said to contain immense health benefits for the entire body. It pleases your palate and nourishes your body.

As part of a normal diet, wine provides the body with energy. It helps in digestion and stimulates appetite. In addition to this, wine restores nutritional balance, relieves tension, sedates and acts as a mild euphoric agent.
Here are some more benefits:

• Red wine is a rich source of antioxidants, flavonoids and phenolics
• Resveratrol (found in grape skins and seeds) increases HDL cholesterol and prevents blood clotting
• Flavonoids exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries
• Consuming a glass of wine along with a meal may favourably influence your lipid profiles following that meal
