Coming from a wine region, I'm pro wine for health. Plus, my doctors recommended long ago that I drink a glass of red wine with dinner for my health. That was easy to do, since my family habitually served wine with dinner.
But, I don't drink wine, red, white or otherwise, every day. This may seem a bit odd for an aspiring sommelier! As I recall, it's the flavonoids in red wine that are supposed to help lower cholesterol and boost your blood. I was always bordering on anemia, so I guess that's why I was supposed to drink red wine.
I like my pomegranate martinis, too, although I think the vodka might be counteracting the health benefits of the pomegranate, lol!
Here's what I found on the health benefits of red wine:
Yale-New Haven Hospital: A glass of red wine a day keeps the doctor away http://www.ynhh.org/online/nutrition/advisor/red_wine.html
Mayo Clinic: Grape juice: Same benefits as wine? http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/food-and-nutrition/AN00576
