Food and Wine

Hi there, I have to say that my favourite wine and health story is by Dr Roger Corder. He researched the connections between red wine and health - the people of Gers in South West France have a lower incidence of heart disease, and live long lives, despite a diet which might otherwise indicate high levels of mortality. Dr Corder identifies polyphenols (antioxidants) in wine produced in this area of France and puts their presence in wine down as a contributory factor in preventing vascular and heart disease.
Just another reason why we should all up sticks and move to the south of France!

i would like to raise a concern i have had for several years now. The ever increasing alcohol content of wines. I note with dismay this is a common denominator in your SUPEREIGHT that you are presently advertising! I really love wine...and want to enjoy severl glasses (2-3) inone session, without being knocked out by excessive alcohol intake. There are some lovely wines with less than 13% v/v alcohol but NOT enough ! Come on Tesco you can do better !
