Yes, there is truth to that. There are two "beneficial" effects in drinking wine. The first is the relaxation that is provided by the alcohol and the context. A small amount of alcohol drank among friends or family or as a night cap can be part of a "ritual" that can be calming and relaxing. If drank (in small amounts) before sleeping, it might help people who have difficulty falling asleep. In this sense, any alcoholic beverage works.
The second way it is said to help your health is by the presence of tannin. Tannin is an reddish astringent substance found in grapes (and other foods too) that is more common in red wine than in white. The argument is that it helps unclog your arteries and veins and therefore would be good for your health. I don't know how much this is true though. So, red wine with a dry flavor would be best as a should contain the most amounts of tannin.
Anyway, you should not look for wine as a source of medicine or part of a health program because the downside of overdoing it overweights any possible benefits. It is far better to hit the gym and have other relaxing rituals (or take some prescription medicine if you have a serious condition) and use wine for pleasure only and not to "cheat" by saying you are doing it for your health.
Salute.
PS: Cute little ♥, are you looking for wine to fix it? : )

Everyone says that one drink of wine is good for your health, so I have taken it one step further and have concluded that 2 or 3 drinks must be twice as good for my health. It don't think that there is a varietal that is best, but I have read that it must be a red wine. Here's to your health!

It is good for your heart and mental health. I am in Health Psychology right now and my professor said she read a recent study that determined Pinot Noir is the best wine to have daily. (One glass) It is a very dry wine, but I like it!

The skin of the red grape has antioxidants that protect your heart, so only red wine has health benefits.
