Here are facts that will completely change the way you think about red wine.

1. Drinking red wine in small doses is better for you than not drinking at all!
It might come as a surprise, but several human trial studies have shown moderate red wine consumption to be better for you than not drinking. Why? The antioxidants found in red wine lower incidences of cardiovascular disease, mortality, and type-2 diabetes. Of course, if you drink more than you’re supposed to, the benefits are replaced by increased health risks. So, do yourself a favor, drink red wine in moderation.
2. Red wine’s health benefits come from tannin.
Pretty much everything in wine that’s not alcohol or water is a type of polyphenol. Polyphenols include tannin, color pigment, wine aromas, resveratrol, and about 5,000 other plant compounds. Of these polyphenols, the most abundant in wine for health reasons are Procyanidins, which are a type of condensed tannin also found in green tea and dark chocolate. This compound is specifically associated with inhibiting cholesterol plaque in blood vessels, which is highly beneficial to heart health and longevity.
3. Some red wines are better for you than others.
Not all red wines are the same. Some wines have significantly higher levels of “good for you stuff” than others (condensed tannins–see above). For example, Cabernet Sauvignon has more condensed tannins than Pinot Noir, but both wines have much less than Tannat, Petite Sirah, or Sagrantino. While it’s rather difficult to determine which wines are best, here are some clues:

Dry red wines are better than sweet wines.
Red wines with lower alcohol (preferably below 13% ABV) are better than high alcohol wines
Red wines with higher tannin (those that are more astringent) are better than low tannin wines.

ROSÉ WINE FUN FACTS
I’m sharing 8 rosé wine fun facts that will teach you what you need to know. It’s not a party unless there’s wine so brush up on these 5 tips for serving wine for entertaining. Then read ahead so you’ll be in the know about Rosé too.

It may be the end of summer, but don’t put away the rosé! This fabulously versatile wine is right in style for fall & winter too!

It got it’s “spring/summer wine” reputation because that’s when the new batches usually hit the market. But just as you’d enjoy any dry white wine year-round, you can enjoy rosé too.

Rosé wine has been gaining in popularity over the last decade, and especially in the last few years. I think my first realization that it was “chic” was when I saw Lisa Vanderpump on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills sipping it several seasons back.
If it’s good enough for a rich Brit living in Beverly Hills, then it’s good enough for me!

ADD ROSÉ FOR ENTERTAINING AT HOME
I’ve been enjoying my own share of Rosé this summer and one of my favorites is Tegernseerhof Rosé from Austria. Before we get to the facts, here are some fun ways to incorporate Rosé into your entertaining.

ROSÉ WINE FUN FACTS
It was the first wine created, about 7000 BC. Red and white wines came a few thousand years later.
Rosé gets it’s pink color from the fact that the skin is left to sit in contact with the crushed grape for a while. The longer it sits, the darker the pink color will be. The skin is removed after a few hours or up to 3 days.
Rosé wine is not meant to be “aged.” It’s best consumed within 2-3 years of it’s release.
The Provence region of France is considered to be the most consistent for creating high quality Rosé at any price point. When in doubt, choose one from this region.
In France it’s called Rosé, in Italy they’re called Rosato, and in Spain it’s Rosado.
Don’t confuse Rosé with Blush. Blush wines are semi-sweet, while Rosé is dry.
Rosé is made from red grape varieties, but fermented like white wine, and it’s best served chilled, like other white wine {50-60 degrees F}.
Rosé is not just for summer sipping! It’s a terrific aperitif or dinner wine all year round, and pairs well with bbq, spicy food, chicken & pork, sushi, seafood, charcuterie & cheese, tapas, salads, pizza, and more!

0 Fun Facts About White Wine
Though white wine might appear to be the simple, unassuming sibling of a tannin-rich and alcohol-heavy red, the lightest member of the wine family certainly packs a delicious punch.

It is endlessly refreshing, delightfully crisp, and brightly acidic. A bottle of white can set the mood for a warm summer’s evening or serve as the perfect companion to your fresh salad, light pasta, or favorite seafood.

Hailing from Old World regions like France or Germany and New World hotspots such as New Zealand or Napa Valley, white wines encapsulate the best grapes, flavors, and aromas the world has to offer.

Whether you prefer an oaked Chardonnay, a dry Pinot Grigio, or a sweet Moscato, there is always more to learn about the cultivation, production, and enjoyment of your favorite whites.

To bring you one step closer to sommelier-level expertise, we proudly present WIne Insiders’ 10 Fun Facts About White Wine:

World's oldest wine' found in 8,000-year-old jars in Georgia
Published13 November 2017
Scientists say 8,000-year-old pottery fragments have revealed the earliest evidence of grape wine-making.

The earthenware jars containing residual wine compounds were found in two sites south of the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, researchers said.

Some of the jars bore images of grape clusters and a man dancing.

Previously, the earliest evidence of wine-making was from pottery dating from about 7,000 years ago found in north-western Iran.

The latest finds were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).

"We believe this is the oldest example of the domestication of a wild-growing Eurasian grapevine solely for the production of wine," said co-author Stephen Batiuk, a senior researcher at the University of Toronto.
Wine is central to civilisation as we know it in the West. As a medicine, social lubricant, mind-altering substance and highly valued commodity, wine became the focus of religious cults, pharmacopoeias, cuisines, economies and society in the ancient Near East."

Traditional methods
The pottery jars were discovered in two Neolithic villages, called Gadachrili Gora and Shulaveris Gora, about 50km (30 miles) south of Tbilisi, researchers said.

Telltale chemical signs of wine were discovered in eight jars, the oldest one dating from about 5,980 BC.

Large jars called qvevri, similar to the ancient ones, are still used for wine-making in Georgia, said David Lordkipanidze, director of the Georgian National Museum who helped lead the research.

Mr Batiuk said the wine was probably made in a similar way to the qvevri method today "where the grapes are crushed and the fruit, stems and seeds are all fermented together".

Previously, the earliest evidence of grape wine-making had been found in the Zagros Mountains of Iran and dated to 5,400-5,000 BC.

In 2011, a wine press and fermentation jars from about 6,000 years ago were found in a cave in Armenia.

The world's earliest non-grape based wine is believe to be a fermented alcoholic beverage of rice, honey and fruit found in China and dating to about 7,000 BC.

Very sweet wines weigh in at 45 g/L and above while dry wines have around 2.5 g/L or less. Other wine components such as acidity, temperature, tannins, and alcohol can all affect sweetness. For instance, acidity tempers sweetness, while alcohol increases it.

Here’s 6 tweetable facts about sweet vino to get you started…
1) How to tell if your glass is half full of sweet or half empty of dry: give it a swirl. Wine with high sugar or alcohol content will appear thick and leggy.
2) When all else fails, use your nose. If a wine is sweet you will pick up notes of honey, molasses, butterscotch, or fruit.
3) Acidity, tannins, and alcohol all affect how we perceive sweetness in a wine. Yet wines are categorized based on residual sugar.
4) Having trouble finding a bottle of the sweet stuff? Wines labeled “late-harvest” or “ice wine” are guaranteed to be a sweet sipper.
5) When dealing with bubbly look for the terms “doux” or “dolce” which mean sweet, or “demi sec” meaning semi-sweet.
6) One method of concentrating sugars in wine involves a fungus called Botrytis that shrivels and decays grapes.
