International health day is fast approaching, and this years, we have great reason to raise our glasses (in moderation, of course) : wine !
It’s not secret that enjoying a small glass of red wine can offer more than just great taste – it can also have beneficial effects on our health. So, without overindulging (and keeping in mind that moderation is key), let’s explore why this ancient beverage deserves a place in our daily lives.
1. A healthy heart thanks to our friend, red wine
Did you know that red wine can be a powerful ally for your heart ?
Thanks to antioxidants like resvératrol, the red wine helps protect blood vessels and improve blood circulation. In short, a small glass of red wine be just the boost your heart was waiting for- without the breathless cardio workouts!

2. The polyphénols : wine superhero
Let’s talk about these famous polyphenols. These tiny, invisible warriors are powerfull antioxidants that act as shields for your cells.
The result ? They help combat cellular aging and keep your skin (and organs) in great shape. In short, wine could be your secret source of young – provided you don’t overdo it. ( sorry, no “fountain of youth” miracle here, though that would have been pretty cool)!

3. Digest in peace… with style
Wine is not only there to brighten up your meals. It also helps with digestion ! Yes, you read that right : a glass of red wine during the meal can stimulate the production of gastric juice and improve digestion. We told you : it’s a friend of good meals.

4. A glass of wine, and goodbye to diabetes (well almost)
Although wine does replace a balanced diet, some studies suggest that moderate consumption could improve insulin sensitivity. That gives even more reasons to enjoy that glass at your next dinner (and who knows, maybe they’ll say “well done” for your sugar managment).

5. Longevity, or how to drink and live long
Researchers tell us: moderate wine consumption, especially within the context of the mediterranean diet, could be linked to a longer and healthier life. Come on, let’s get motivated to toast to the idea of long and happy life !

And because wine is above all a story about of sharing and passing on, we couldn’t end this article without mentioning Madame Simone. A Woman of character, always ready to raise her glass to celebrate life, she perfectly embodies the spirit of Chateau de Paraza. It is in her honor that we created a wine cuvée in her image : generous, full of life, and unforgattable. So, here’s to your health…and to hers !
*It’s important to remind that alcohol consumption carries risk. Wine, like any product, should be enjoyed in moderation. For more information, you can consult official recommendations here.
Scientific research on its benefits is still often contradictory and should not be taken at face value. This article, which refers to world health day, should therefore be read with caution.
At Chateau de Paraza, we are primarily producers, but also responsible consumers. That’s why we take great care to respect sthe land, the vines, and the soils. We are proud to have the HVE label (hight environmental value), which reflects our commitment to producing quality wines, free from chemicals and with respect of the environment. Because taking care of the planet is also taking care of ourselves.
