Why Wine?

August 6th, 2008

          In the Arkansas heat, the beverage of choice at mealtimes is often a large pitcher of iced tea. With gas prices at $4 dollars a gallon we are all trying to tighten our belts and cut out some of the “perks”. However, even at times like this, wine may be the best choice you and your family.

          The most obvious reason for drinking wine is the health benefits. Wine is known to be a natural blood thinner. It also aids in lowering cholesterol and reducing stress. There are dozens of healthful ingredients in wine that, taken in moderation, keep the body and mind strong, energetic, and disease-free. Click here to read more about the healthy benefits of wine.

           The advantages of drinking wine do not end with the body.  Most of today’s families are living a very full and fast-paced life style. With soccer games, homework, and overtime at the office, most of us barely have to time to sit down, much less make a home-cooked meal to sit and enjoy with the whole family. However, doing just this is one of the best things you can do for yourself, your marriage, and your family. Preparing a well-planned, home cooked meal can seem daunting, but the benefits far outweigh the alternative.  Wine, of course plays an integral role at the communal table. It not only enhances the taste of the food being served but it also enhances the spirit of love in a family. Wine can make all of your mealtimes memorable events, and these events can be the keystone of a strong family unit as well as create bonding memories for everyone involved.

            Some people mistakenly believe that the enjoyment of a good wine is only for those of “superior intelligence” or of a higher social standing. Insinuating that the average man can’t appreciate good wine with well-matched food is hooey! Wine is and always has been the beverage that warms the spirit of all men. Wine adds richness to life and fuels the passion for all of the important things life has to offer: love, art, music and friendship. These things, I say, are not for the few but for all men.
