A recent study published in the *European Heart Journal* found that drinking half to one glass of wine per day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by 50% among high-risk individuals adhering to a Mediterranean diet. Researchers from the University of Barcelona measured tartaric acid levels in urine as a reliable indicator of wine consumption. The study involved 1,232 participants who were followed for several years, revealing that light consumption also lowered risks but higher intake nullified benefits. The findings highlight the importance of moderate wine consumption as part of a healthy dietary pattern.
