The kid from How Can She Slap is back. Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from the fermentation of grape juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients. Wine is produced by fermenting crushed grapes using various types of yeast which consume the sugars found in the grapes and convert them into alcohol. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts are used depending on the types of wine being produced. Wine is a popular and important beverage that accompanies and enhances a wide range of European and Mediterranean-style cuisines, from the simple and traditional to the most sophisticated and complex. Wine is important in cuisine not just for its value as a beverage, but as a flavor agent, primarily in stocks and braising, since its acidity lends balance to rich savory or sweet dishes. Red, white and sparkling wines are the most popular, and are known as light wines because they are only 1014% alcohol-content by volume. Apéritif and dessert wines contain 1420% alcohol, and are sometimes fortified to make them richer and sweeter.

Some wine labels suggest opening the bottle and letting the wine “breathe” for a couple hours before serving, while others recommend drinking it immediately. Decanting—the act of pouring a wine into a special container just for breathing—is a controversial subject in wine. In addition to aeration, decanting with a filter allows one to remove bitter sediments that may have formed in the wine. Sediment is more common in older bottles but younger wines usually benefit more from aeration.[43]

During aeration, the exposure of younger wines to air often “relaxes” the flavors and makes them taste smoother and better integrated in aroma, texture, and flavor. Older wines generally fade, or lose their character and flavor intensity, with extended aeration.[44] Despite these general rules, breathing does not necessarily benefit all wines. Wine should be tasted as soon as it is opened to determine how long it should be aerated, if at all.

If so , how much red wine one should take every day ? Does it have side effects ( Except effects of alcohol ). Some people have disturbed stomach after taking red wine empty stomach.
Modifying the question slightly , I want to know effect of red wine not only on cholesterol but on overall health of heart.

1 glass per day is the recommended amount. It helps to lower cholesterol and increase the hearts ability to pump blood. A chemical in red wine called resveratrol has been shown to have cardioprotective and chemoprotective effects. A study in 2007 found that red and white wines help to protect against fungal infections such as strepptococcus. Also a study has shown that moderate consumption of red wine may reduce the risk of lung cancer in men. Wine is also believed to reduce a persons risk of Alzheimers Disease.
