6x the best wine news
And it has to do with sex
Nothing is better than to flash some wine trivia during the Friday afternoon drinks and immediately have the perfect excuse to have another one.
1. Wine drinkers have better sex
Yes, I suspected it already, ahem, but now I have an Italian study on my side. Women who drink two glasses of wine per drink have a better sex life. They say, right? They say. This by the way, you should never say that after sex, but that's beside the point.
2. Wine doesn't make you fat
These wise words were spoken by my daughter to an older aunt who was explaining her latest diet and said that wine was especially the culprit. To which my daughter replied: “So wine really doesn't make you fat. Look at my mother. She drinks wine every day.” I found it a compliment. Awkward, but still, it was a compliment.
The Yale School of Medicine conducted research on body weight and drinking behavior, and it turned out that while you do gain weight from beer, you do not from wine. Moreover, women who drink one to two glasses of wine per day weigh an average of five kilos less than women who do not drink at all. My daughter already said it.
3. Wine makes you smart
At least, wine is said to train your brain. Even more than solving difficult mathematical problems. Want to know how that works? You should here read about it with our colleagues at FemFem. I don't feel like looking it up right now. It's wine o'clock, remember?
4. Those silly Americans
It's not that bad, but still. In Europe, we name wines after their geographical location (Bordeaux, Limoux, Sancerre), outside of Europe, a wine is often named after the grape. For example, Cabernet Sauvignon.
5. This is just not fair
Women get drunk faster than men. This has nothing to do with us being smaller and lighter, but because we have more fat. And thanks for that. Fat does not process alcohol, and thus we get drunk much faster. They are happy, they can jump into bed with us after two glasses. A bunch of perverts.
6. By the way
So there are people who are afraid of wine. They call it oenophobia. Luckily, I don't suffer from that. By the way, it all comes back this.
