Observational studies have shown lower risk of cardiovascular events in patients who regularly drink red wine. Since these early observations, several studies have suggested that it may be just the alcohol that confers these benefits, although there may be some benefit in the grape as well.

Red wine contains antioxidants, especially when made from pinot noir grapes. Burgundy, Bordeaux and grapes grown in Chilean valleys are especially rich them. Although these antioxidants have been linked with helping to lower the rate of heart disease, it is actually the alcohol in red wine which helps to relax blood vessel walls and has this potentially protective effect. This means that beer, spirits and other alcoholic drinks have the same effects and therefore are also 'good' for the heart.

A large number of studies have been conducted to try to determine what ingredient in alcoholic beverages results in a reduced risk of heart disease. As a result of these studies we now know that it is not the colour, type or brand of the beverage but the alcohol itself that is associated with reduced risk of heart attack or certain types of strokes. Any form of alcohol may help your heart; it doesn't have to be wine.
