The mediteranean lifestyle is very healthy and they have a longer life expectancy than most of the world. They drink a glass of red wine oft during the evening and have been used in multiple studies to suggest it IS a good thing. The anti-oxidants in the wine (from grapes duh) + the effect of alcohol thinning the blood thereby increasing the ease of blood flow shouldn't even be debated anymore. As with anything, too much of anything is good for nothing. But a little of something can be quite good...
