Although it is chilly in winter, after a busy day, sitting around a warm table with your family and drinking a few glasses of wine can not only relax the meridians, resist the cold, but also relieve your mood and enjoy your health. Let me introduce some knowledge to you, I hope it will be useful to you!

What are the benefits of drinking red wine in winter?

1, wine: dry red or fortified wine should be selected.

When choosing wine in winter, the most suitable wine is dry red or fortified wine. On the one hand, in terms of taste, these wines are richer and more nutritious than dry white wine, which can better provide people with the calories needed in winter. On the other hand, from the drinking temperature, dry red is generally higher than dry white, so it is more suitable for drinking in winter. In addition, from the perspective of catering, people's diet in winter is mainly red meat such as beef and mutton and rich style meals. These foods are the best choice for dry red.

2. Drinking temperature: It should be slightly higher than the wine temperature in summer.

Friends who love wine know that the optimum temperature of wine in summer is 8- 14 degrees Celsius, and if you drink wine at this temperature in cold winter, wine is likely to become a "stomach-hurting weapon" for many lovers. Therefore, when drinking in winter, the temperature of serving wine can be slightly increased to avoid discomfort to the gastrointestinal tract caused by too low wine temperature. In fact, in Germany, France, Austria, Italy and other countries, heating wine in winter is very popular.

3. Drinking: Drinking properly.

The low temperature and cold in winter can easily lead to gastrointestinal discomfort. Coupled with many winter festivals, people often become "uninvited guests" in hospital beds. Therefore, we should pay more attention to moderate drinking in winter. Generally speaking, 0.4-0.5 liters of wine per day can provide enough heat for the human body.

Food smoked with wine

When winter comes, residents in many places like to smoke or pickle chicken, beef, pork and other meats into smoked foods such as sausages and bacon, and prefer to treat these foods as winter snacks. In fact, it is unscientific to use these smoked foods as appetizers because they contain high nitrosamines and pigments. After eating with wine, they will interact with alcohol, which will not only damage the mucosa in the mouth and esophagus, but also cause liver damage and even cause malignant lesions such as cancer. Therefore, it is suggested to use fresh meat as the "spouse" of wine. Dare to drink cattle

Excessive drinking is not only harmful to health, but will greatly damage physical and mental health. According to the research of health experts, excessive drinking is easy to damage the human nervous system, leading to memory loss, inattention, poor judgment and other consequences; Excessive drinking may also lead to gastritis, gastric ulcer and other diseases, and may also aggravate diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. The best amount of wine to drink is related to the intensity of physical activity. When there is little physical activity, the most suitable drinking amount is 1-2 cups a day; When physical activity is strong, the most suitable drinking amount is 0.4-0.5 liters per day, and drink plenty of water after drinking. In a word, please remember that wine is good, but anything good will go too far.

Add ice cubes directly to the wine.

This practice will dilute the taste and aroma of wine due to the addition of ice cubes, which is not conducive to tasting the flavor and quality of wine, and is more likely to cause physical discomfort of people with stomach cold and spleen deficiency, thus affecting their health. If you want to drink ice wine, you can pour ice cubes into the bucket, and then put the whole bottle of wine into the ice bucket to cool down. It is best to drink white wine chilled to 8- 12 degrees Celsius and red wine chilled to 14- 18 degrees Celsius.

Drink wine with strong coffee.

Some friends think that wine and coffee are elegant things full of emotional appeal, so they like to have a cup of strong hot coffee after drinking wine. In fact, drinking both together is not healthy. As we all know, coffee contains caffeine, and moderate drinking can bring exciting and refreshing effects. But if you drink it with alcoholic beverages such as wine, it will accelerate blood circulation, cardiovascular system and brain, and it will do great harm to the heart and brain. Therefore, "wine and coffee" is an unscientific way of drinking. If you want to drink both "wine" and "coffee", you'd better drink it at intervals of more than three hours.
