Does alcohol have any health benefits?Because it's putting wine in the same danger zone as cigs which obviously have no health benefit and only health detriment.
Wine can obviously be abused like anything else including food, soft drinks etc. But sticking a health warning label akin to a packet of fags is a bit OTT and will ruin the aesthetic of bottle displays in bars, and restaurants too. Again I haven't seen the design proposals, but 'stark' suggests something along those lines.
There have been some inconclusive studies showing very slight benefits of drinking a tiny bit of red wine, but those slight benefits come from the polyphenols which come from the red and purple grape skins. NOT from the alcohol!
