Recommended weekly intake of Wine: 2.5 bottles!
Does two and a half bottles of wine sound like a lot to you? It does seem a bit high, but apparently, that's the amount you should be drinking each week in order to protect your heart, according to recent studies. Drinking two glasses of wine a day can help ward off heart attacks and, more surprisingly, will help make your heart healthier than those who don't drink at all. But keep in mind, that's two and a half bottles per person, per week, so drinking that on Saturday night and teetotalling for the rest of the week is not a good idea, and won't do your heart any good.

I thought it was 1 a day for women, 2 for men? I like this rec better! LOL
I usually have between 1-2 glasses a day, and occasionally more. I didn't start because it was good for my health, but because I liked my nightly glass with my husband. Any health benefits are a bonus.

I hope people are sober while reading this or else they might mistake the glasses for bottles and end up drinking more than they should. Despite the number of articles out there proclaiming the good news of wine when it comes to health issues, they fail to specify exactly how much a person should drink or not drink.
