Book excerpt: Health Benefits of Dieting with Red Wine Why are many people obsessed with wine? Wine has been a fascinating subject since time immemorial. In the yesteryears, wine was related to luxury and royalty. And over the years, wine has become an industry. Wine is made from different types of fruits that can range from grapes to pomegranates but in this eBook, red wine is the center of focus. Red wine is made from grapes. But what is so special about it? Is wine making science or an art? Red wine making and red wine itself is as old as civilization itself. Turkey, Iran, and Eastern Russia are areas that were the main places where grapes were grown. Today, however, grapes can be found all over the globe. Interestingly, the oldest winery that was found can be traced back to 4100BC in Armenia. The wine lover will want to know about the origin and history of red wine and the fact that it can also be found in biblical writings has made it even more important to a history of red wine. But in the modern era, people associate red wine with health benefits as it has been established that moderate drinking is good for health. That does not necessarily mean that red wine alone can help in unorthodox fat loss but proper diet and exercise is the secret of staying fit. While the people residing close to the place of its origin emphasize on the artistic part of red wine making, there are yet others for whom this is an industry. It is a profession for them and not art. There are many factors that impact the wine making. How red wine has helped people stay fit? Does it help in losing weight? And for the history of red wine lovers, unlike other diet books, this eBook is rich in information that readers will love to go through. This eBook has something for every individual reading the book with different aspects in mind. From the history of red wine lover to the health conscious, it is a must read.

Download or read book The Red Wine Diet written by Roger Corder and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine is good for you, and we finally know why. Wine drinkers are less prone to heart disease, diabetes, and dementia than non- wine drinkers. But what exactly is it about wine that keeps us healthy? Which is better for you, a California Cabernet or Syrah from the south of France? How can you choose wines that both suit your tastes and benefit your health? In a landmark study, Roger Corder revealed that compounds called procyanidins are the key components of wine for preventing illness. Now, in The Red Wine Diet, he argues that drinking the right kinds of red wine and eating procyanidin-rich foods such as dark chocolate, apples, and berries can help us live to a ripe old age-while enjoying all the pleasures of life. Corder's own tests show that, as a result of grape variety, wine-making style, and other factors, some red wines contain much higher levels of procyanidins than others. With a unique personal rating system, he describes the most beneficial wines he's found to date. And to round out his lifestyle plan, he includes fifty delicious recipes featuring foods that are high in procyanidins. Corder's prescription is an easy pill to swallow: Drink red wine every day and live a long and healthy life.
Download or read book Red Wine written by Amīnah Zaydān and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suzie Mohamad Galal, born in the Egyptian city of Suez during the War of Attrition in the late 1960s, is a woman of inner conflicts, at once a fighter and a lover, who traverses the boundaries of ethnicity and religion. Her whole life is intricately tied to the wars and political events taking place in Egypt. But as she grapples with where to begin her story of personal and national crises, questions of narration arise: which metaphor best serves the layers of meaning she wants to communicate, and whose voice is telling the story anyway? Red Wine is both timely in its attention to the issues of state brutality, religious extremism, and gender, and timeless in the way it deals with the themes of coming of age, guilt, and sadness.
Download or read book Red Wine and Health written by Paul O'Byrne and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book revises the principal strategies for the characterisation of red wines based on compositional profiles of biogenic amines as a source of information. Special attention is paid to toxicological and organoleptic repercussions associated with the presence of these natural components of wines. This book also aims to characterise the red wine through dielectric parameters. An overview of the basics of the dielectric properties of materials, specifically in foods is also presented. Phenolic compounds in wines, especially in red wines, possess strong antioxidant activity in vitro. Phenolic compounds, obtained in red wine, are natural constituents of grapes and wines. They have the largest effect in decreasing atherosclerosis by both hypolipemic and antioxidant mechanisms. Thus, phenolics show a positive effect on human health and they may cause an increase of antioxidant activity of blood plasma. In this book, the effect of total phenolics [TP], total anthocyanins [TA] on the antioxidant activity [AA] is discussed. Furthermore, the applications of the different analytical methods that have been developed so far for the analysis of natural antioxidants in red wine are discussed, such as high-performance liquid chromotography (HPLC), gas chromatography (GC), and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Also, the agents influencing the phenolic profiles of red wine are overviewed. Wine safety and healthiness depend on the interactions among various factors, several of which of microbial origin. This book explores scientific knowledge on the microbial role in the healthiness and safety enhancement of red wines, by proposing a specific selection of microbial starters. Furthermore, the growth and metabolism of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), which are essential in the quality of many fermented beverages like cider and wine, are discussed. In addition to malic acid, some other organic acids, sugars and carbon sources may be utilised by LAB modifying the sensory quality of these products. In fruit juice and related product, for example, they are considered spoilage microorganisms. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is one of the most debated chemical components used in enology. Its important antioxidant, preservative and antiseptic properties are indispensable for the health, stability and quality of wine. Flow injection analysis offers great potentials on the field of automation in terms of high sampling rate, precision, accuracy and cost effectiveness. This book reviews automated flow injection methods for the determination of sulphur dioxide in wines. Moderate wine intake could play a protective role in several systems, including cardiovascular, digestive and neuroendocrine ones. Since the description of the French paradox, many beneficial effects of red wine have been described, namely those linked to cardiovascular disease protection. The most recent findings regarding the effects of red wine or its components on the adipose tissue are reviewed. In addition, it has been shown that red wine polyphenolics causes substantial falls in blood pressure, thus improving endothelial function and decreasing oxidative stress. These studies on vascular endothelium are also looked at. The main component considered responsible for the reduced risk of death in alcoholic beverages is ethanol. This book reviews the data generated to date on the amount of phenolic compounds necessary to elicit certain cardioprotective effects. This data may have implications for national alcohol and dietary guidelines, for medical practitioners who 'prescribe' daily moderate wine consumption, as well as for the wine industry per se redeveloping healthier wine styles and types.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French word terroir is used to describe all the ecological factors that make a particular type of wine special to the region of its origin. James E. Wilson uses his training as a geologist and his years of research in the wine regions of France to fully examine the concept of terroir. The result combines natural history, social history, and scientific study, making this a unique book that all wine connoisseurs and professionals will want close at hand. In Part One Wilson introduces the full range of environmental factors that together form terroir. He explains France's geological foundation; its soil, considered the "soul" of a vineyard; the various climates and microclimates; the vines, their history and how each type has evolved; and the role that humans--from ancient monks to modern enologists--have played in viticulture. Part Two examines the history and habitat of each of France's major wine regions. Wilson explores the question of why one site yields great wines while an adjacent site yields wines of lesser quality. He also looks at cultural influences such as migration and trade and at the adaptations made by centuries of vignerons to produce distinctive wine styles. Wilson skillfully presents both technical information and personal anecdotes, and the book's photographs, maps, and geologic renderings are extremely helpful. The appendices contain a glossary and information on the labeling of French wines. With a wealth of information explained in clear English, Wilson's book enables wine readers to understand and appreciate the mystique of terroir.

Download or read book Passion on the Vine written by Sergio Esposito and published by Crown. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young child in Naples, Italy, Sergio Esposito sat at his kitchen table observing the daily ritual of his large, loud family bonding over fresh local dishes and simple country wines. While devouring the rich bufala mozzarella, still sopping with milk and salt, and the platters of fresh prosciutto, sliced so thin he could see through it, he absorbed the profound relationship of food, wine, and family in Italian culture. Growing up in Albany, New York, after emigrating there with his family, he always sat next to his uncle Aldo and sipped from his wineglass during their customary hours-long extended family feasts. Thus, from a very early age, Esposito came to associate wine with the warmth of family, the tastes of his mother’s cooking—and, above all, memories of his former life in Italy. When he was in his twenties, he headed for New York and undertook a career in wine, beginning a journey that would culminate in his founding of Italian Wine Merchants, now the leading Italian wine source in America. His career offered him the opportunity to make frequent trips back to Italy to find wine for his clients, to learn the traditions of Italian winemaking, and, in so doing, to rediscover the Italian way of life he’d left behind. Passion on the Vine is Esposito’s intimate and evocative memoir of his colorful family life in Italy, his abrupt transition to life in America, and of his travels into the heart of Italy—its wine country—and the lives of those who inhabit it. The result is a remarkably engaging and entertaining wine/travel narrative replete with vivid portraits of seductive places—the world-famous cellars of Piedmont, the sweeping estates of Tuscany, the lush fields of Campania, the chilly hills of Friuli, the windy beaches of Le Marche; and of memorable people, diverse and vibrant wine artisans—from a disco-dancing vintner who bases his farming on the rhythm of the moon to an obsessive prince who destroys his vineyards before his death so that his grapes will never be used incorrectly. Esposito’s luscious accounts of the wonderful food and wine that are so much a part of Italian life, and his poignant and often hilarious stories of his relationships with his family and Italian friends, make Passion on the Vine an utterly unique and enchanting work about Italy and its eternally seductive lifestyle.
