In Defense of Wine, and the Caveman that Drank It

In defense of wine, and the cavemen and cavewomen that drank it. Don't sit there shaking you head, I know for a fact that some do partake. Since the dawning of man when the very first dude left his grapes in his animal skin backpack to long only to find some type of pungent liquid, a gift he assumed from the Gods to quench his thirst. If wine is so bad for your diet why did Jesus turn the water into wine?
Since this is a diet and lifestyle blog, let's look at some facts:
Red wine has a rating of 44 on the glycemic index, according to BL Publications and the NHL Ministries. A nice low glycemic load, but don't get loaded!
Now I never said wine was low in calories, but if this is a concern, one serving, or five fluid ounces of red wine, contains 125 calories, according to NutritionData.com. Eight-six percent of calories found in wine comes from alcohol, while 14 percent of calories found in wine comes from sugar. Have no fear, 15 minutes on a treadmill at a walking pace will burn that glass off. Drink up it will give you incentive to go further!
