It is suggested that moderate amount of red wine (one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men) reduces the risk of heart attack for middle age people by 40 to 50 percent. It is also recommended that alcohol such as red wine might also prevent additional heart attacks if previously you have suffered from heart attack. It is also suggested that reasonable drinking of wine could be viewed as a set off, rather than an alternative, to lifestyle involvement as regular physical activity, weight loss and quitting smoking.

Other studies further stated that red wine could even raise HDL cholesterol (the Good cholesterol) and put off LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) from forming. Red wine might as well help you to prevent blood clots and decreases the blood vessel damage caused by fat deposits. Indeed, the studies stated that people from the Mediterranean region who regularly consumed red wine have lower chances of heart disease.

Red wine is a mainly rich in source of antioxidants falconoid phonemics, so many studies exposed the cause for red wine's positive effects have focused on its phonetic constituents, chiefly reservation and the falconoid. Reservation, found in grapes skins and in the seeds, it increases HDL cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. Falconoid, on other hand shows antioxidant properties assisting to prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries.

Studies have also shown that alcohol drinking might boost triglycerides (another bad blood lipid) and result in weight gain due to its empty calories.
