1. i dont think that much, but yes, it is good for your health, in small doses
2. of course, its good for your heart, it gets the blood pumping in there!!
3. 1-2 glasses would probably be a better amount. Many antioxidants, etcetera.
4. yes, but it makes your teeth grayish. small price to pay, tho.
5. the tannins in red wine are beneficial to a human physiology but only in limited doses show some restraint 1 small glass a day
6. yeah, but I'd go with more like 2-4 bottles a day.
7. yes, the doctor says its good for my health. but not sure about yours....
8. Yes but only in a class or two at most per day, all things are ok if you take them in small measures.
9. limited drinks...good.increse HDL(good Cholesterol)
10. Excellent for your health, you must of seen the movie Sideways for you specified Merlot, why not Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chianti, why just Merlot, please tell me you are not a wine snob, and don't forget Shiraz from down under, and some great Chilean wines, Gallo Hearty Burgundy, I could go on and on, but you have to experiment, for if all you drink is Merlot than you will get bored and that is not good for your health, so try others, be brave, take a risk, that is what is good for your health.
11. red wine is good for you whatever type it is but if you exceed three a day might give liver problems, it has high sugar content
12. it is good in modiration, 1 glass a day is proven to help prevent heart disease and is very good for your digestion, any more than that would be bad for your liver.
13. my doc tells me for high cholesterol...i MUST have one glass a day...and it'll keep me off the pills that so many take...so i follow his advice....and it seems to be lowering it...so it must work.
