Is white wine good for you?
The NHS says the earlier view that some alcohol is good for the heart has been revised: the evidence on a protective effect from moderate drinking is less strong than previously thought. The CDC says drinking less is better for your health than drinking more. We found no NHS, CDC or NIAAA page naming Chenin Blanc, white wine or any grape variety as healthy, so we do not list benefits.
Does white wine have medicinal properties?
No official source we opened says so. Claims about heart health, immunity or cancer protection from a particular wine are not supported by the pages we read.
What are the health risks?
The NHS says drinking more than 14 units a week over many years can raise the risk of mouth, throat and breast cancers, stroke, heart disease, liver disease and brain damage, and that there is no safe level. The CDC says the risk of some cancers increases with any amount of alcohol use.
How much is one glass of wine?
NIAAA counts a US standard drink as about 14 g of pure alcohol, which is 5 fl oz of wine at 12% ABV. The NHS puts a standard 175 ml glass at 2.1 UK units. Chenin Blanc strength varies, so check the label.
This is general information, not medical advice. Ask a doctor if you have a health condition or take medicine.
