We have been drinking wine at least for 10 000 years or longer, in our region already from Celtic and Germanic times. Favorable effects on
prevention of myocardial infarction, stroke, diabetes and hypertension were demonstrated recently, following attempts to use alcohol
for treatment in ancient times. Favorable effects of wine drinking could be seen also in aging population. The best results for men are
reached by daily drinking of 20–40 g alcohol at dinner. A moderate dose for women represents half of the dose for men.
