WINE O’CLOCK: For the secret of youth, make a date with a redhead

Many surveys and studies point to the benefits of drinking wine, red wine in particular. I love to read them but I don’t necessarily believe them.

If health is your concern, you might be better not drinking alcohol at all, or maybe not reading surveys.

The latest one suggests particular health benefits from young red wine.

The study of 16 wines from Australia and New Zealand found levels of healthy antioxidants, found mainly in red grapes, decreased significantly over time.

Researchers say the compound trans-resveratrol, which has proven cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory and anti-diabetic effects, decreases by about 75 per cent over a 16-month period.

The tests were conducted on wine which had already been bottled. It was then re-sealed and tested again at a later date.

Since you are unlikely to be drinking any wine younger than two years, your choice will already have lost some of its antioxidant value, I guess.

But we should not let facts get in the way of a good survey.

Young reds can be very nice, light and bright and fruity, but I am not a huge fan of the reds from either Australia or New Zealand.

If I’m after the elixir of youth, I go for a Pinot Noir or the Beaujolais type, which you will also find under the Fleurie label.

Merlots and Malbecs will give you the same fruity flavours, but with a bit more body.

The four I have chosen here are all 2018.

Las Cenizas Merlot 2018 (€9, O’Briens)
A Merlot from Chile, which is good at young wines. Cherry and plum are the flavours and it smells a little like fruit cake.

La Bastille Red (€9.95, The Wine Centre Kilkenny)
Merlot is the main grape component in this blend from southern France. It’s a nice smooth red, good with meaty dishes and also excellent with blue cheese or mature cheddar.

Goyenechea Goye Malbec Roble (€14.95, The Wicklow Wine Company)
Argentina is the go-to country for Malbec and this is a great example. Bright and lively; blackberry flavour with hints of vanilla and spice. A good accompaniment for the heftier pasta dishes such as ravioli or lasagne

Chanson Fleurie 2018 O’ (€18.95 O’Briens)
This is a Beaujolais cru. Smooth and aromatic with flavours of cherry and raspberry and the scent of fresh-cut flowers.

    How I Got My Husband back… Am so excited to share my testimony of a spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn’t even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr.Odu adebayo can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted(WhatsApp) him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr.odu adebayo If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him(+2347055287754)or Email him at : poweroflovespell@gmail.com.

I contacted him and explained all my problems to him and he assured me that he will help me. He told me what to do and assured me that my man will be back in 12 hours. I obeyed him and followed the instructions and to my Greatest surprise, my man called me in 12 hours time just as Dr. Joromi said. Thank you Dr Joromi. May the good God continue to bless you.
