Wine o'clock

Just read an article in The Mail (don't judge!!) by Liz Hodgkinson extolling the virtues of wine drinking for the over 60s...do we agree? Personally, I do and look forward to my wine to accompany cooking the evening meal..a highlight of the day. I remember reading once in the Times, years ago, that unit guidelines were sort of plucked from the air and there was little scientific basis for a 'one size fits all' policy. I held onto that thought!

Not something my Mother would have done but times have changed.

I love my glass of wine in the early evening, and sometimes (well, nearly always) one while I cook. I do try to have a couple of alcohol free days but am not always successful. blush

We have a glass of wine every evening around 6pm, and as Merlotgran said, Friday evening still feels like the end of the working week so a few more glasses are drunk then! It's something we look forward to and "Is it wine time yet?" is heard quite often throughout the day in our house smile

And why not? If we worried about every little thing that might be bad for us, life would be pretty colourless!
