Five Health Benefits of Drinking Organic Wine

These five health benefits of drinking organic wine will convince you in no time!

Do you get headaches when drinking your favorite wines? Maybe it’s time to switch things up! Here are five health benefits of drinking organic wine that you may not have known about. If you’re sensitive to sulfites, you’ll want to read this. Happy Wine Day – that’s a thing.

Health Benefits of Drinking Organic Wine

Have you tasted organic wine? Which one do you like more, organic wine or conventional wine? For the connoisseurs of wine out there, red wines are the food of the gods. However, millions of wine lovers cannot drink standard red wine because of allergic elements like sulfites. Since 2011, the demand for organic wine has elevated, and the era for more of it with food pairings has begun. Natural wines have less hefty hangovers and fewer chemicals and are friendly to the environment. No wonder they are the ultimate option for the upcoming wine future.

The organic wines are rare, like Dalmore whiskey, but are equally exclusive and elegant. Not only do they taste well, but they also benefit one’s health. You will be amused while reading these five health benefits of drinking organic wine, which is scientifically proven.

The label on a wine bottle only speaks about its region of origin and alcohol content and not the wine’s ingredients. That’s why a wine lover needs to know how organic wine differs from ordinary and what extra benefits one could extract from drinking it. The health benefits below will help you see the difference.

Organic Wine Has Fewer Sulfites and Additives

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is the most commonly used preservative in the winemaking process because of its antibacterial properties. A minimal amount of sulfites is okay if the allergic people do not get rashes, cramps, hives, and patchy skin. Organizations like USDA organic, ECOCERT, and Demeter that label organic wines contain a brilliantly reduced amount of sulfites than conventional ones.

Also, the organic winemaking process encourages biodiversity. The additives like fining and clarification agents and sulphuric acid agents are not added to organic wine. Ordinary wines are not free from these additives, and the additives create free radicals within themselves. Free radicals can cause Alzheimer’s, inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and cataracts.

Organic Wine Can Reduce Body Cholesterol

You might wonder after knowing all the surprising benefits organic wine alone delivers. Secondly, red wine is a killer of bad cholesterol in your body. Spain’s scientists say that organic red wine specially made from Tempranillo grapes has high fibers that can elevate your heart’s health. It can reduce bad cholesterol to 9-12% of the total.

The Low-density Lipoproteins (LDL) are not friendly to a fit heart. On the other hand, High-density Lipoproteins (HDL) are good cholesterol agents, raising the heart’s 5 to 15% of the heart’s health. Doctors recommend women drink a glass of wine every day. While for men, it is two glasses of wine every day.

Five Health Benefits of Drinking Organic Wine

Organic Wine Helps You Lose Weight

Tired of gymming and dieting but still want to lose weight? Drink wine! Washington State University and Harvard Medical School confirm that two glasses of wine daily can help you lose extra body fat. The resveratrol chemical in red grapes is the actual hero behind all this. Our body converts already present resveratrol chemicals in the wine into the piceatannol element.

Piceatannol restricts fat cells from growing and maturing until it suppresses appetite and lessens the urge to overeat. Also, it helps to regulate blood sugar which robustly influences hunger demands. Drinking two glasses of organic wine daily, one in the morning and one in the evening can help you lose weight. Remember, however, you must stick to drinking red organic wines because no white or sparkling wine helps as red wine does!

Organic Wine Has No Added Sugar

Fat and sugar are two crucial factors responsible for most disorders in the human body. Both cause damage to the body to a maximum extent, and ideally, one should shun much consumption. Some winemakers add sugar artificially to the wine and mislead even the wine connoisseur to think it is naturally sweet.

To reach the desired ABV level, winemakers practice chaptalization. Also, they add extra sugar to hide the ill taste of inferior-quality grapes, and the ultimate wine product becomes tasty. Only a real wine snob could differentiate between the natural sweetness of wines and the added flavors! It is better to prefer organic wine to balance sugar intake for the body and sound health.

Organic Wine Develops Out of Organic Grapes

Above all, the significant benefit of organic wine is that it develops out of organic grapes. Unlike the usual grapes, organic grapes are sprayed with chemical herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers. The prime purpose of doing this with the typical grapes is to keep them rid of unwanted weeds and uninvited bugs. The pesticides shield grapes from unexpected attacks from pests and insects.

Although pesticides are to kill germs, their residues leave a noticeable impact, which may prove harmful. No organic grapes get sprayed with these herbicides because growing them differs significantly from conventional grape growing. Because organic wines get prepared from organic grapes, nothing can beat it. It is suggestible to drink natural wine compared to the typical wines available in the market.

So, it is clear that organic wine greatly benefits human health after drinking it. Now you know the benefits of drinking organic wine and have reasons to choose it regularly. Besides the fact that it’s rarely available, wine experts insist on purchasing organic wine on the verge of paying a bit more for its purchase. Ensure that the label of the wine is untampered and the product is authentic. Never let your wine-drinking experience degrade.

Happy Wine Day because it’s every day!
