It is absolutely good to drink red wine once a day. Usually the liver can filter one alcoholic beverage or drink in one hour. But with red wine, you just drink one glass a day and that's it. No harm. NOTHING at all. As long as you never have too much of anything, it's okay.

Moderate wine consumption and potential health benefits - fact or fantasy? There is a growing body of scientific research that indicates the polyphenols found in red wines may offer significant antioxidant protection. This translates to chemicals found in red wines, have the potential to overcome free radicals that are bound and determined to cause cellular damage, which is a root cause of various forms of cancer and heart disease.
Damage is done to the liver if too much alcohol (4-6 glasses a day) is consumed on a consistent basis.
So there you have it moderate wine usage is beneficial excessive is not. Good Luck!

I heard it adds time to your life and the oldest man in Italy drank a glass a day since his mid 30's. It is good for your heart as long as you stick to a glass a day only... any more and your liver could pay the price.

One glass of wine per day is good for you. You don't need to worry about your liver unless you already have liver problems as long as you don't drink too much. If you feel uncomfortable, talk to your doctor about it.

IF YOU HAVE ONE GLASS OF WINE DURING DINNER, IT SHOULD NOT HURT A THING. MY DAD DID THAT EVERYDAY. IT WOULD ONLY EFFECT YOUR LIVER IF YOU DRANK ALOT IN ONE DAY AND KEEP DOING THAT EVERY DAY. BUT ONE GLASS WITH DINNER SHOULDN'T HURT YOU.
