Why Do The Europeans Switch To Red Wine When They Want To Lose Weight?

Most people enjoy a drop of alcohol from time to time

, and wine is undoubtedly one of our favorites! But if you have ever tried dieting to lose some weight you'll know that plenty of diets frown on the idea of having any wine anywhere near your diet regime. It's simply not generally recommended.

But if you're trying to lose weight and you're feeling a bit dejected that you can't drink while you are dieting, start thinking the European way. You see, Europeans tend to keep on drinking whenever they are on a diet. They just tackle things in a different way. Instead of drinking all kinds of different things they switch to red wine - and only red wine.

So why is red wine great for people who are dieting?

You've probably read some things about the benefits of red wine and they're pretty much all true. Red wine has antioxidants in it that are good for our bodies in that they help keep us healthy. Wine is also pretty low in calories, and if you opt for a glass of dry red wine you'll be able to enjoy it with a guilt free conscience.

There's obviously a limit to what you can drink though, am I right?

Yes that is right. Obviously wine of all descriptions (indeed alcohol of all descriptions) has calories in it. This means the more you drink, the more calories you'll ingest. So make it just the one glass of dry red wine a day, get the health benefits from it like the Europeans do, and leave it at that. It's a guilt free pleasure that forms a healthy part of your daily diet.

The one thing you need to remember is that wine doesn't keep forever once it's been uncorked. Even if you have a glass of red wine every day it will take you a few days to go through the whole bottle. So you need to have some way of preserving the rest of the bottle until you are ready to drink it.

What can I buy to do just that?

Vacuum sealers are perfect. These look a little like oversized corks and you pop one over the top of the bottle and it will seal the whole thing up for you. This means you don't get any air in your partially drunk wine bottle and your wine will stay preserved at the best possible state. You can get manual sealers and also ones that work on batteries, although these are a little more expensive.

It will also benefit you to buy a wine aerator. This won't prolong your wine but once you are ready for another glass from your vacuum sealed bottle, just pour it through the aerator to instantly and easily get some air into your red wine.

Both of these items will make your wine last longer and also ensure it tastes just as good as can be. And that's exactly what you want from your wine each and every day.
