Raise a Glass to Your HealthGrapes are packed with nutrients that protect you from heart disease. Many scientific studies have even concluded that drinking wine in moderation lowers your risk of death from heart disease more than drinking other kinds of alcohol.
"Moderate consumption" is usually defined as 1 to 3 drinks each day, but it's important to watch your calories. To be safe, stick to the one-glass-per-day rule if you're still trying to reach your goal weight. And of course, wine is not a requirement on The Sonoma Diet. If you'd rather have a nonalcoholic beverage, seltzer water with lemon is fit for any special occasion.

Dr. Guttersen's Tip of the Day
Mix It Up
If it's difficult to make one glass of wine go the distance during your next social gathering, try alternating between sips of wine and sparkling or lemon-flavored water. Or, mix half a glass of wine with sparkling water. Then drink two glasses of this refreshing beverage. If you're ordering at a holiday party or in a restaurant, ask for a white-wine spritzer.
