Red dry wine

Red dry wine...

Do you know what the French paradox is? In this case, we are talking about a relatively low level of oncological and cardiovascular diseases, which is observed in the inhabitants of France. At the same time, their diet is distinguished by high-calorie food rich in fats. After lengthy studies, scientists came to the conclusion that, most likely, the cause of this phenomenon is the regular consumption of dry red wine by the French.

It is made from certain grape varieties, which differ in dark red or almost black skin color - Mattress, Cabernet, Senso and some others. However, due to the fact that most of these varieties of raw materials do not have juice and pulp colored, the technology for making red dry wine is very different from the production of white dry wine. Almost the most important thing that manufacturers strive to achieve along with the unsurpassed tart taste is to obtain an alcoholic drink that would have a rich dark color. It is believed that young red wines taste rough enough, and therefore their aging time should be at least three months.

In cooking, red dry wine is highly valued and is widely used not only as an independent alcoholic drink, which has a rather specific tart taste. It is remarkably combined with veal, lamb, poultry, game, kebab, pilaf and buzhenina. In addition, this aromatic product is often added when preparing numerous meat dishes (for example, beef medallions) and confectionery. The calorie content of red dry wine is only 64 kcal per 100 grams, and this is quite a bit, so almost every healthy adult can afford this drink.

Benefits of red dry wine

In the question of the benefits of red dry wine, Spanish scientists recently tried to put an end to it, proving that it is much healthier than some fermented milk products, such as kefir and yogurt, for example. In particular, if you consume natural red wine in small quantities every day, the intestines will work like a watch.

In addition, the benefit of red dry wine lies in the high content of elements important for the human body - amino acids and chemicals, without which normal metabolism, cell development and growth are practically impossible. In considerable quantities, this grape drink also contains magnesium, which is necessary for the work of the heart muscle. The iron contained in wine, for example, helps to fight anemia, and chromium provides the synthesis of fatty acids.

Harms of red dry wine

You can talk about the dangers of red dry wine in case of excessive consumption, as well as poor quality of the drink. In addition, like any alcohol, it is not recommended during pregnancy and during lactation.
