Champagne Delivery

There are findings all the time in the news about how wine effects the body, some positive, most negative. To be honest, most people are aware of the negative effects of drinking wine and are pretty happy when something positive is found. For example, there was a smile put on lots of people’s faces when news was released saying that those who drunk a glass of red wine each day were reducing their chances of heart attack because their blood was less viscous. Now there maybe another reason to dust of the glassware as scientists have found that wine actually aids digestive function.

A study that took place in Manchester, England recorded results from a study that involved giving some people a glass of wine (either white, red, rosé or champagne) to drink each evening for 2 month.The results concluded that digestive functioning was enhanced in those subjects who consumed a glass of wine for each evening that the study ran. Although white wine and rosé still had a positive effect on digestion, red wine had the biggest impact.  Unfortunately, champagne did not seem to help digestion so you can put those champagne glasses away again for the time being. Also, those who drunk any more than one glass of wine actually had decreased function, so you have to limit yourself.

It is thought that although wine is a diuretic and so dehydrates the body if enough of it is consumed, it also works to relax muscles of the stomach and intestines. This allows food to be transported through the various digestive pipes easier and with less obstruction.You should however note that this research study monitored people for only a short amount of time and we do not know what the effects were long term.  The overruling advice seems to be that you can enjoy the odd glass of wine without too much issue and it may even be good for you, but if you start feeling unwell or find youself drinking your wine out of glass vases then you may need to see a doctor
