The healthiest types of wine…did you know that some wines are better for you than others?
Are you eagerly awaiting the end of “Dry January” so you can return to a glass of post-work wine? And why not !!! When consumed moderately wine is a delightful way to end a stressful day. (and adding great cheese and/or chocolates can make it even better!!)
When it comes to any alcohol, of course monitoring the amount consumed is most important for your health.
Some wines are healthier than others
There are some wines that are better for your health than others.
If you are hoping to make smarter decisions about your alcohol consumption, GREAT! But that doesn’t mean you have to go “cold turkey” since not all wines are created equal!
How can wines vary?
Wines can vary in terms of calories, sugar, and alcohol content.
Reds are higher in antioxidants. Why, are they higher you ask? Well, reds are fermented with grape skins longer than white or rose. (red, pinot noir and cabernet sauvignon).
After dry red, your best bet is orange wine,
Rosé. Generally, rosé is made using red wine grapes, but the “skin contact” time is shorter.
Dry white wine. In white wine production, there is generally no “skin contact” time
The higher the level of antioxidants they have the higher the inflammatory effect.
The healthiest wines
If you are looking to cut calories the dry sparkling and white wines are good choices. Our Hudson Brut sparkling wine, champagnes, cava, pinot griot, and sauvignon blanch have lower sugar content and lower calorie count.
Moscato and port wines have higher residual sugars.
Party tips when serving wine
Did you know you can add sparkling water to wine, which is a fun way to stretch servings and cut calories? It is very refreshing, especially in the hot summer heat. Another party tip, it’s best to make sure you have one bottle of wine to serve per person per hour during your party.
