]]>There are countless projected benefits that drinking red wine in moderation can pose for your body. Not only does red wine have antioxidant properties, but experts have also said that it has anti-inflammatory benefits as well. They’ve also noted that red wine can help with heart health, longer life, mental health, and gut bacteria as well.
This, of course, is assuming that you’re drinking red wine in moderation. This is crucial, because too much of something good can end up tipping the scales for the worse—so make sure that you’re not drinking more red wine than you should be. One good way to be sure if you’re drinking the correct amount is to have a friend or loved one informed of your daily intake.

]]>Consider adding these three red wine varieties to your shopping list if you want to keep the red wine flowing during the coming months!
Pinot Noir is a classic spring choice, combining the tannins and hearty flavors of red wine with a light body and refreshing character that makes it a great choice for outdoor sipping. Pair it with foods like salmon, chicken, and pesto pasta.
This Spanish classic, associated most strongly with the world-famous La Rioja wine region, is another good idea for a spring red, especially on cooler days. It has a little bit more body than Pinots, but pairs so great with grilled steaks or Mexican food.
You might not think of sparkling wines when you think of reds, but the Italian Lambrusco wine is proof that these two can go together like a ball and a glove. Light, spritzy, and fruity, Lambrusco is perfect for brunch sipping or picnicking in the sun.

]]>You can detect a lovely hint of cherry in this Piedmont-based wine, which bears strong similarities to that of vermouth. This is a sweetish wine that you’ll want to sip with your dark chocolate.
True to its name, this red wine is originally from Portugal, and it’s known for its intoxicating cinnamon spice aroma. As you might expect, it goes great with anything cacao-related, including dark chocolate and coffee as well. If you don’t have access to a Port, a Port-style wine will do just fine. These alternatives include wines such as the Malbec or Zinfandel.
A bottle of Pedro Ximinez originates from Montilla-Moriles, an exotic region in Spain. It has a black-brownish color, and it’s meant to be sipped very delicately. The more you drink it, the more you taste its nuttiness and raisin-like flavors. Pair it with chocolate and you’ve got yourself a truly delicious combo.

]]>The post Kalimotxo is Spain’s Favorite Party Drink appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>One drink that isn’t so well-known outside of Spanish borders but is immensely popular at parties and gatherings inside of the country is a tasty mix known as kalimotxo.
Originating in the Basque Country, kalimotxo is super simple, containing two ingredients in equal proportions. Red wine and cola, such as Coca-Cola or Pepsi, are combined to make a drink that is smooth, drinkable, and gives people enough of a sugar buzz to keep them going all night long.
Want to make it at home? It’s as easy as this!
That’s right! There are no fancy mixers or cocktail glasses involved here. Take one part red wine (the cheaper, the better) and one part cola. Put them into a cup (yes, plastic is fine), add ice to taste, and enjoy!
Salud!

]]>A new study has determined that red wine may assist in treating anxiety and depression.
Wine contains the plant compound resveratrol which is found in the skin and seeds of grapes and berries.
A study led by the University at Buffalo that was published in the journal Neuropharmacology found that resveratrol displays anti-stress effects by blocking the expression of an enzyme related to the control of stress in the brain.
“Resveratrol may be an effective alternative to drugs for treating patients suffering from depression and anxiety disorders,” said co-lead author and research associate professor in the UB School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Dr. Ying Xu.
The hormone corticosterone regulates the body’s response to stress. Excessive amounts of corticosterone have been shown to affect phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) which causes depression and anxiety-like behavior. Resveratrol inhibits the expression of PDE4.
Sounds like a good enough reason to pour yourself a glass at dinner time.
