Why Red Wines benefit your Heart (Click for more detail)

Increasingly, medical opinion favours modest consumption of red wine, as an aid to maintaining a healthy heart. By "modest" we mean a glass or two a day, but please discuss with your doctor if in doubt.

Red wines contain Polyphenols, a natural constituent that helps to prevent heart disease. For many years this secret lay behind the “French Paradox” - the mystery of why the French population had a good record on heart disease, despite a high fat content in their national diet (particularly cheeses).
The high altitude of Catena’s vineyards, in Argentina, produces grapes that are very high in Polyphenols. Research by Professor Roger Corder (William Harvey Research Institute in London) shows that Catena Alta’s wines have Polyphenol levels of 10-11. This compares with typical levels of 5-7 for red wines from other parts of the World. White and Rose wines typically score less than 1.
A full range of Catena wines is available from Divine Fine Wines. If you do n't get as much exercise as you would like, and particularly if you smoke, then check out Catena Alta wines in the Connoisseurs Section.
