It’s been a while…..

It’s been a bit of time since we wrote on here. It was much easier during the lockdowns but since the. It’s been busy!

There been a lot going on in the world of wine, with price increases from Brexit, covid and related shipping increases and general inflation. It’s not that serious, but it’s happening.

We’re definitely happy with our service and how that fits against the economic picture. We’re not a service for absolutely everyone, but anyone that wants a bespoke personal service in picking their wine has come to the right place.

We’re going to launch our new featured product soon, it’s been too long.

We’re also working on some other great things including how to take pay,ent in crypto!

Have a great weekend everyone. We’ll get back to writing.

Men’s Health Week: Enjoy a Red Wine Guilt Free

Theres’s often argument over the health benefits of red wine, and we suggest drinking in moderation, so the health outweighs any other effects, however a quality organic red wine is jam-packed with antioxidants and inflammatory properties. These benefits come down to the concentration of polyphenols, particularly one called resveratrol, which can be found in the skin of grapes.

This week is Men’s Health Week 15-21st June and we want to talk about what part wine can play in that, in moderation of course!

Resveratrol is a plant compound that acts like an antioxidant. The top food sources include red wine, grapes, some berries and peanuts.

This compound tends to be concentrated mostly in the skins and seeds of grapes and berries. These parts of the grape are included in the fermentation of red wine, hence its particularly high concentration of resveratrol.

Red wine can do wonders for your mood, and science suggests it can be great for your heartyour brain, and your muscles, too. Some research suggests that red wine even has cancer-fighting properties.

So before you feel guilty about enjoying a glass of your favourite tipple, bare in mind that there are some positive health benefits to drinking red wine!

Stay safe, stay healthy, and enjoy! 🍷
