Alcoholic beverages have been consumed for thousands of years, attracting great human interest for social, personal, and religious occasions. In addition, they have long been debated to confer cardioprotective benefits. The French Paradox is an observation of a low prevalence of ischemic heart disease, with high intakes of saturated fat, a phenomenon accredited to the consumption of red wine. Although many epidemiological investigations have supported this view, others have attributed it to…

[Prevention of cardiovascular disease and fermented alcoholic beverages. Reality or fiction?]
TLDR
A large evidence-based reports a J-shaped association among moderate alcohol consumption and cardiovascular health, still unclear whether high-polyphenol alcoholic beverages, such as wine and beer, confer a greater cardiovascular protection than spirits, which have much less polyphenol content.
Red Wine Consumption and Cardiovascular Health
TLDR
The aim of this review is to summarize the accumulated evidence correlating moderate red wine consumption with prevention of CHD by focusing on the different mechanisms underlying this relationship.

Wine: An Aspiring Agent in Promoting Longevity and Preventing Chronic Diseases
TLDR
Moderate wine intake, at 1–2 glasses per day as part of the Mediterranean diet, has been positively associated with human health promotion, disease prevention, and disease prognosis.
Alcohol, health and cardiovascular disease.
Alcohol, Drinking Pattern, and Chronic Disease
TLDR
The inconsistent recommendations on alcohol consumption and its association with chronic disease are discussed, highlighting the need for an evidence-based consensus to clarify the available evidence and provide clinicians with support for their clinical practice.

Associations between Low to Moderate Consumption of Alcoholic Beverage Types and Health Outcomes: A Systematic Review
TLDR
Moderate consumption of one specific alcoholic beverage (wine, beer or spirits) may not be consistently associated with higher or lower risks for common health outcomes as compared with moderate consumption of any of the other alcoholic beverages.

TLDR
This advisory is to summarize the current literature on wine intake and cardiovascular disease and suggests that more compelling data exist for other less-hazardous approaches to cardiovascular risk reduction.
Alcohol-free red wine enhances plasma antioxidant capacity in humans.
TLDR
The parallel and prompt increase of antioxidant status and of circulating levels ofpolyphenols in fasting subjects after bolus ingestion of a moderate amount of alcohol-free red wine suggests that polyphenols are absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal tract and might be directly involved in the in vivo antioxidant defenses.
Mediterranean diet, Italian-style: prototype of a healthy diet.
TLDR
In recent years, despite an increase in consumption of animal foods, the dietary profile of southern Italy has maintained its basic features, and vital statistics still demonstrate a comparative advantage of eating behaviors in Mediterranean countries.

TLDR
