Why Red Wine Should Be Your<br />Stay-At-Home Drink of Choice As many people in the United States continue to<br />find themselves stuck at home, alcohol sales have<br />unsurprisingly seen a drastic increase. Online alcohol orders rose a whopping<br />243 percent in the week ending March 21,<br />compared to the same period last year. According to a study conducted by<br />researchers at Kings College London,<br />you may want to consider choosing red<br />wine as your lockdown drink of choice.

However, lead author Dr. Caroline Le Roy<br />stressed that “moderation” is key, as an<br />infrequent glass was found to still provide<br />the same health benefits.
