Nowadays, many people enjoy drinking a glass of red wine with their meals, because red wine is not just an alcoholic beverage, it also has certain health benefits. For example, the French, who love high-calorie, high-fat foods, have a relatively low incidence of heart disease. Research has found that this is related to the French's love of drinking red wine. Although wine is good, when drinking it, one must pay attention to the following three taboos:
First, avoid excessive drinking: Experts believe that the appropriate amount of red wine to drink each time is 50-100 ml, and it should not exceed 250 ml per day. British scientists have found that the mortality rate of people who drink moderately is 28% lower than that of people who do not drink at all. However, if this limit is exceeded, the mortality rate does not decrease but instead increases. Excessive drinking is not only a major cause of diseases such as liver cancer and cirrhosis, but also leads to endless social problems caused by alcoholism.
Second, avoid drinking with vinegar: Various salads generally do not affect the flavor of wine, but if the salad is dressed with vinegar and then eaten with red wine, the taste will be greatly diminished. In this case, you might as well choose lemon juice, because its citric acid can harmonize with the quality of the wine.
Third, avoid eating with seafood: Generally speaking, red wine should be paired with red meat, because the tannins in the wine combine with the protein in the red meat, which can aid digestion. However, if red wine is paired with some seafood (such as crabs, prawns, etc.), it will severely ruin the taste of the seafood, and the wine itself may even take on an unpleasant metallic taste.
