Had some at the weekend and it went perfectly with curry. Is Style Free really only 35cals a can? The sugar free/diet stuff tends to have about 25-30calories per 100ml which brings a can in at around 100cals as opposed to 180 or so for regular. It’s sad that I know this.

Flavonoids
Test tube, animal, and some population-based studies suggest that the flavonoids quercetin, resveratrol, and catechins (all found in high concentrations in red wine) may help reduce the risk of atherosclerosis. By acting as antioxidants, their nutrients appear to protect against the damage caused by LDL cholesterol. When choosing wines, generally go for the deepest red colour and a good tannic structure. A guide is as follows:

• High: Merlot, Cabernet, Sauvignon, and Chianti
• Intermediate: Rioja, Pinot Noir
• Low: Côtes du Rhône, Beaujolais, most rosé wines, whites
