When compared to beer or liquor drinkers, and even non-drinkers, those who happen to drink wine have lifestyles that are healthier. Wine drinkers are thinner and have more normal weights, they exercise more, smoke less, have a higher intake of fruits, vegetables and salads, have a higher education and socio-economic status, eat less saturated fat (fewer servings of red or fried meats) and more fiber, have normal cholesterols, drink less alcohol, often work in white collar jobs and are in better health than the rest of the population. Those individuals who drink wine also happen to be more well adjusted, less neurotic and depressed, and have a higher I.Q. These many lifestyle factors that account for improved health make the use of wine no longer significant.

everything in moderation. heh heh! it's no news that countries with a decent average consumption of wine per capita (France; Italy etc) have fewer reported cases of artery clogging (esp. around the heart)....apparently the tannins in wine (esp. red wine) are good for you in this way....
but like i said...in MODERATION (unfortuneatly)...too much alcohol has far reaching negative consequences!
but besides that, a glass or two a day makes life more enjoyable, tastes good & is a great social combiner....
happy sipping!!

In my family we grew up having a Glass of wine with our dinner. My great grandmother,grandmother and father had a long life. My mom is still going at the age of 85 so it looks like it is good for you.

My understanding is that WINE is actually good for you-in moderation of course. The FRENCH swears by this idea.

yes, wine is good for you. But, only in small qualities. Believe it or not so is Chocolate.

Yes, as long as it's consumed in moderation (and in non-Muslim countries) wine is good for you.
