They found the component in wine called ‘resveratrol’ improved physical performance, heart function, and muscle strength.

Studies show drinking wine can reduce the risk of a heart attack, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

We also found a year old study that says wine and weight loss go hand in hand!

It claims drinking a glass of vino actually helps burn fat easier.
