I was particularly pleased to see the point about screw top bottles.mi was battling with a bad cork again yesterday and wish that bottles could be brought into this century.

Great news if you are male and like red wine. A new study has shown that an ingredient in red wine can be used to help improve the fitness and well-being of men. It helps with protection against heart problems and type two diabetes.

The only slight drawback is that to obtain enough of this substance to be effective, you need to drink ten litres of wine a day. I suspect that your overall health may suffer on such a diet

That’s why this article is important.

I hope the one about the end of corks comes true. Screw tops seem to be much better.

However, the idea that French wine will go into decline and that Spanish wine will take its place is ludicrous. I suspect this was written after a few too many glasses of Rioja this is not to knock some of the excellent wine produced these days in Spain. But the article ignores the greatly increased care and attention being paid by French wine growers these days, particularly the younger generation. The article might have been true fifteen years ago but things have progressed since then.
