Wine is included in the Mediterranean diet and numerous studies indicate that it has multiple health benefits: it helps reduce cholesterol, prevents some types of cancer and even avoids depressive states.
Here are some reasons why you should include moderate wine consumption (a glass at lunch or dinner) in your diet.
