Amordivino - Unwind in style with Italian Wine

Record of alcohol-related diseases
Hospital admissions for alcoholic liver disease more than doubled in a decade, reaching 35,400 in 2004/5. Alcoholic liver disease deaths increased by 37%. Admissions for alcoholic poisoning increased to 21,700 from 13,600 over the same 10-year period.
Professor Ian Gilmore of the Royal College of Physicians questioned whether current measures to reduce alcohol misuse were enough. "There is going to be a need for regulation. The drivers of alcohol-related health problems are price and availability." He said alcohol was too inexpensive and readily available in supermarkets around the clock.

We, at Amordivino, would like to reinforce this message, saying that wine is and has always been a precious, elegant drink, that should be enjoyed in small doses with the right meal, favouring quality above quantity. Wine should be given the right attention, tasting slowly every sip, not drunk, glass after glass, only seeking the final effect of the alcohol.
Some substances in wine are beneficial to the body, but alcohol is toxic. The right balance, a glass with your meals, will do you good. More than that is dangerous.
