"When consumed in small amounts, red wine can be considered a superfood that provides powerful antioxidants that heal the body at a cellular level, like quercetin and resveratrol."
Dear oh dear Realist, you always think you are right! Anti oxidants can come from many sources and alcohol is rarely the best!

"Grapes are rich in many antioxidants. These include resveratrol, catechin, epicatechin and proanthocyanidins (5).
These antioxidants, especially resveratrol and proanthocyanidins, are believed to be responsible for the health benefits of red wine.
Proanthocyanidins may reduce oxidative damage in the body. They may also help prevent heart disease and cancer (6, 7, 8)."
"Bottom Line:
The powerful plant compounds in red wine have been linked with many health benefits, including reduced inflammation, lower risk of heart disease and cancer, and extended lifespan."
Anti oxidants can come from many different sources and alcohol is never the best!

HiThe Exchange rate for the £ has tanked since Brexit.
Nothing we can do about that, it is out of our control.
That means that petrol, diesel, gas. electricity prices have shot up
It is the same with wine.
Less of an impact here in England, but still enough.
It is the Scottish Parliament who have introduced minimum charging.
They receive no more profit, it goes to the Supermarkets.

Where as in fact, its the same price throughout the uk which knocks that theory clean on the head
esp when you look at historic prices and it was the same price back in 2015 which kind of says its been on special offer of one kind or other since

My favourite wines are Jen Pfeiffer wines or Three Amigos which is also very good. I'm in a wine club so it depends whats on offer, I like new world wines though much nicer than French.It will be interesting to see if the alcohol tax in Scotland has any affect on over indulging.
