Is alcohol all bad? How lowering the alcohol in your wine could be good for you.
Did you know?
Research tells us: in nearly every region of the world where people live the longest and healthiest lives - like Ikiria, Greece and Sardinia, Italy - daily wine consumption is a cultural staple.
Yet, alcohol is a harmful toxin. In high quantities, it can impact your sleep, affect your judgement, and disrupt your gut. And it’s often abused. Since 2005, alcohol consumption is up 17%, used to calm nerves and combat anxiety by most of the western world. And the industry is responding. Take wine, for example. Since the early 90s, wine alcohol levels have steadily increased. In 1992, the average was 12.7%. In 2009, it jumped to 13.8%. Today, you will often see levels at 15% or higher.
High alcohol is good business. It’s addictive, it causes you to drink more, and higher alcohol produces the big bold wines preferred by the typical American drinker.
So, how can you enjoy the benefits of wine without suffering the drawbacks of alcohol?
It turns out, it’s all about how much alcohol you consume.
Benefits of Lower Alcohol
Wine can actually be beneficial when the alcohol is present in lower quantities. Here are 3 benefits of lower alcohol:
Increase social connection. Alcohol releases endorphins, the same “feel good” chemicals you release when you laugh or exercise. Endorphins are the heart of human bonding and an important part of social interaction.
Decrease anxiety. Research shows moderate drinking - like a glass of wine - can help lower stress responses by decreasing blood pressure and increasing blood flow.
Improve focus and creativity. The right amount of alcohol can provide mental focus, creativity, and open mindedness. This occurs from “depatterning,” where your brain chemicals are rearranged to drop unhelpful habits in favor of new ones.
Fun fact: it’s not just humans; it works for animals, too. Researchers found animals learn new habits when introduced to psychoactive substances (bees, for example, drink fermented sap and nectar).

Benefits of Wine
Wine has added benefits that extend beyond the alcohol content. Researchers continues to discover new ways wine could be good for us:
Brain health. Moderate drinking has been shown to reduce risk of dementia and stroke, while increasing the brain’s ability to clear waste and fight inflammation.
Gut health. Wine can be rich in healthy probiotic bacteria, some of which help your intestines fight pathogens like E. Coli. Wine can also be rich in antioxidants and polyphenols.
Heart health. Recently, science shows low to moderate wine consumption may reduce risk of coronary heart disease and enhance insulin response.
Low Alcohol Wine
After all this, it seems the best way to enjoy the benefits of alcohol without suffering the consequences is low alcohol wine.
