Ahhh Vino

Yet another way to justify my mounting acquisitions from Garagiste.

From The Atlantic...

Alcohol enthusiasts love invoking the health benefits of red wine to quell their guilt as they order a second bottle of Malbec with dinner. And now they have another factoid to cite while they argue the drink's healthfulness. Researchers have found that a much-heralded ingredient in the libation, resveratrol, reduces the negative effects astronauts face when in the weightlessness of space. But it's not just good news for space travelers: "The study also suggested that resveratrol may be able to prevent the deleterious consequences of sedentary behaviours in humans," reports the Daily Mail.

Drinking wine can (also) reduce risk for sunburn, finds a study in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. Wine's flavanoids, a nutrient found in grapes, protect skin cells from sun damage.

All the justification one needs to kick it on the beach (or in space) while drinking wine.
