Red wine helps fight a cold
While everyone at home keeps sniffling, I walk healthily and cheerfully through winter. The secret? A glass of red wine. Because it has been proven: drinking red wine helps fight a cold.
Nothing is as wonderful as a velvety, good red wine in autumn and winter. Good red wine is priceless. Worth every sip. That aroma, that warm feeling when you take a sip, that warmer feeling with sip two…
Sixty percent less chance of catching a cold!
Pour that vino, because drinking wine really does help fight a cold. Red wine, that is. Research shows that people who drink two glasses of red wine every day are less likely to catch a cold than people who, for example, enjoy a beer. Researchers at Harvard found that regularly drinking a glass of red wine reduces the risk of catching a cold by as much as 60 percent. It almost makes you thirsty.
Wine tip
Convinced? Then I have a wine for you right away that not only suppresses the symptoms of a heavy cold, but is also unbelievably delicious. A Shiraz from Down Under, from the Australian winery Penfolds. Familiar name? That could be right, because their ‘Grange’ wine is a true bucket-list wine, with sky-high scores from wine writers worldwide and covered in medals. But almost unattainable, hence this affordable alternative. Penfolds makes the smoothest red wines in Australia; Max’ Shiraz is another delicious wine, bursting with fruit, that feels like silk or velvet in your mouth. And it is simply available at de Bijenkorf. For just under thirty euros a bottle. A bargain for all those tissues you save. Cheers!
