Vin et santé

At a time when political and even medical institutions are riding the "wine and health" wave by discrediting it every day, it seemed necessary to us to destigmatize wine, thanks to expert references (doctors, pharmacists, lawyers) in their professional fields, with an unquestionable objective approach. Therefore, we enlisted about twenty recognized academic figures to provide an overview of current knowledge on the effects of wine on health. This book addresses legitimate questions and is aimed at both members of the wine-growing industry and doctors, of course. It will also be of interest to wine lovers and the general public, who are always eager for true information on such a sensitive topic linking wine and society. While all the authors agree that wine remains harmful for children and pregnant women, each acknowledges the biological or social benefits, especially at the end of life, from our finest wines, provided, of course, they are consumed in moderation. They thus align with institutional health messages: 2 glasses of wine per day, roughly speaking, in order to benefit from proven benefits, such as on diabetes, atherosclerosis, or the heart.
