Presentation :

At a time when political and even medical institutions are riding the “wine and health” wave by denigrating it every day, it seemed necessary to us to demonize wine, thanks to leading experts (doctors, pharmacists, lawyers), in their professional field. , with an undeniable objective approach. We therefore asked around twenty recognized academic figures to take stock of current knowledge regarding the effects of wine on health.

This book answers legitimate questions and is aimed both at members of the wine industry and at doctors, of course. But it will also be of interest to oenophiles and the general public, always eager for true information on such a sensitive subject linking wine and society. If all authors agree that wine remains harmful for children and pregnant women, everyone recognizes the positive biological or social effects, particularly at the end of life, of our best wines, provided they are consumed, well sure, in moderation.

They are thus closer to institutional health messages: two glasses of wine per day, schematically, in order to benefit from proven benefits, such as diabetes, atherosclerosis, or the heart.
