Popular belief is also the fact that the age directly influences the caloric content of wine and its tastes. Actually not everyone is able to distinguish wines of different age therefore at the choice it is better to be guided by own flavoring addictions and indicators of caloric content of wine.

Fully to feel aroma and taste of drink it is also necessary to follow rules of pouring it in glasses. For white wine choose more compact tanks, and red demands bigger volume.

Destruction of drink is promoted by a sunlight. For this reason wine is spilled, as a rule, in bottles from dark glass (an exception wines make of some white grades of grapes), and it is recommended to store drink in the cool and dark place.

Calories in wine and a wine diet

It is no secret that two opposite points of view about influence of wine on body weight are widespread. It agrees one of them the caloric content of red wine as representative of alcoholic category of products inevitably promotes a set of extra kilos. At the same time, according to other point of view the wine diet opposite, is capable to contribute to normalization of weight.

One of paramount roles in influence on a figure belongs not only caloric contents of red wine, but also to quality of drink. The recovered, diluted, containing foreign additives of wine are really hazardous to health whereas qualitative wine normalizes cholesterol of blood and promotes the correct assimilation of the fats which arrived with food.

Trying to find such wine on a counter of shop, it is not necessary to be guided only at the price of a product – the most expensive collection wines are not intended for the daily use, their taste is clear only to gourmets, and the price consists of actually cost and a huge market margin.

Inexpensive wines of the southern countries – Chile, Australia, Argentina – have the low price at worthy quality. Besides, products of this sort are forged much less often. From more usual producers traditionally high-quality drinks are offered by the Crimean, Moldavian and Georgian wine makers.

Before making the decision on observance of a wine diet, it is necessary to consult with the doctor as not only a number of diseases, but also reception of certain medicines can become a critical contraindication for regular alcohol intake.

The wine having the lowered caloric content white or red nonalcoholic which possesses the phenolic connections reducing cholesterol level, and also stimulating digestion with fruit acids too can also become a fine alternative.
