There is a great deal of misinformation around wine drinking and health. That wine is complex is an understatement, but there is a great deal of confusion in the manner in which we address this complexity, beginning with the very irksome tendency of health ‘authorities’ and ‘experts’ who somehow imagine that all wine is the same. Fermentation is a very complex process, but the raw material (grapes) that is being fermented causes different reactions and results. Wines with pesticides at the very least give headaches (the whole sulfite thing is a distraction - it’s the pesticides) and most certainly contain carcinogens. Wine that is made with organic and biodynamic grapes give joy, and create a sense of euphoria.
