Who doesn’t
like a good drink? In the whole history of our civilization wine has taken a special
place. From the ancient Egypt it has been constantly distilled with care and
passion. A prime example of such are wines from the Bordeaux region. Check out
the video and answer three simple questions.
And now the questions:
1. Do you like wine? If you do, then which type of wine is your favorite?
2. Do you think drinking one bottle of wine to dinner every day is healthy?
3. Would you like to try distilling wine and if you did, was it good?
1. Do you like wine? If you do, then which type of wine is your favorite?
2. Do you think drinking one bottle of wine to dinner every day is healthy?
3. Would you like to try distilling wine and if you did, was it good?

I believe that one glass of wine or other alcohol may be healthy (it helps to clean up organism), but definitely not an entire bottle.
I wasn't distilling wine by myself, but my uncle did - his wine was very sweet and tasty.
And about the destilled wine? Had it additional unusual fragrace or taste?
I have a weakness for Nebbiolo and Sagrantino di Montefalco. If you are a meat eater, they go fantastically well with slow cooked heavy wild games dishes. You feel like you moved back in time and you are a traveler resting in a village tavern in Medieval Italy.
Curiously, Israeli wine (not the industrial-scale kosher wineries but boutiques wineries) has started to be recognized as producing world class vintages. Especially Golan Heights with its dry climate, high-elevated vineyards (up to 1,200 meters above sea level) and sunshine. It is the best region for growing one of most noble varieties - Cabernet Sauvignon. They also grow Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon blanc. I recommend doing a trip around Golan Heights, which is a beautiful region, and visiting local family own boutique wineries. Some of them are truly exceptional. Pelter Winery won several gold awards at international competitions. The owner, Tal Pelter, is a very interesting guy worth meeting and talking to. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/14/business/golan-heights-making-wine/index.html
Is drinking a bottle of wine to dinner every day healthy? I believe French and Italians do not ask themselves such questions ;)
I tried to make wine from a winemaking kit (on my friend's request). Luckily, nobody died.
I don’t think that drinking wine everyday would benefit our health, but still had read about positive aspects of red wine on decreasing risk of getting different cancer types and reducing blood pressure. Probably drinking in moderation could improve our health.
Unfortunately, I don’t have conditions to start distilling wine in my home and passion to it yet. Maybe in future I could do some experimental alcohols in the basement, who knows…
Morning you wake up to make some cereal (still cooking althoug barely). You notice lack of milk and decide to use wine. That is not a good idea (especially if you are driving later xD )
Also, it's whiskey with cornflakes. Don't put straight milk :)
I do not think that drinking the hole of wine everyday is a good and healthy idea - it's a little bit too much :) In my opinion, the glass of wine would be enough. I heard that all kind of alcohol is healthy but when you drink it in small quantities.
When it comes to volume, I know drinking a bottle of wine every day is not healthy for me, one glass is fine though.
I never tried distilling wine myself, and would probably not attempt to, but I provided grapes from my garden for my friend/neighbor that did. The first time he found that the equipment was faulty and the wine went bad, so he re-purposed the wine into hooch which, as a matter of fact, was great and super-tasty.
The second attempt went a lot better though and he managed to make a few bottles of really nice, semi-dry, deep red wine that we deeply enjoyed over a few nice dishes. Now he has a third batch in his basement and I cannot wait til the moment it is ready!
I know that Italians( or generally people from the South) drink a couple of glasses of wine everyday and it makes them healthier. I am inclined to believe that real natural wine improves our mood and blood circulation system. Moreover, it depends on a purpose of drinking. If someone wants to get drunk, he would do it anyway.
No, I haven't tried such wine so I can't say anything about the taste of it
I believe one bottle of wine every day is a little too much, but one glass might be actually pretty healthy if its quality is good.
I've also never tried to distil wine but I had plans to make my own beer. Unfortunately, it still didn't happen due to lack of time and my laziness.
I don't think that drinking that much of any types of alcohol would be healthy to anyone. I guess that the maximum amount of wine that could be healthy (or at least not harming) is glass a day.
I didn't ever try distilling wine myself, but I had some chances of trying it. It was really nice and sweet, in my opinion much better than the regular sweet wine from the shops (it's completely different, when it comes to the taste and feel of it.)
I switched from drinking beer to red wine in hopes it would help me run my half marathon. Over the past few months I have started feeling so much better...not only physically but mentally. I now have no desire to drink beer and whiskey. It's like it makes me feel happy
One bottle a day in my opinion is a bit too much. One lamp it's ok but not a bootle. So, for me the wine may not exist :)
I've heard about health benefits of drinking wine, but definitely not the entire bottle. It was a maximum of one glass of wine a day. I know sometimes one glass is not enough, but a bottle a day will definitely not keep the doctor away.
My parents tried to distil wine few years ago but I was too young to enjoy the taste of it. They let me taste a bit but back then everything that contained alcohol was horrible (for me). I will think about distilling my own wine when I have time and money for it.
2. For one person: it's too much in my opinion. I don't like drinking alcohol regularly (it feel so bad). And it can't be healthy.
3. Maybe in the future I will try distilling wine but at this moment I don't thin so.
I have never tried to distill my own wine, because as I mentioned earlier,
I heard that drinking wine with dinner or supper is very health for human body, and I belive it. But I have one doubt - I think drinking all the whole bottle at once is not a good idea.
This amount of alcohol can not be healthy. Personally I would suggest one glass of wine. In my opinion that's enough.
I tried several times distilled wines. It was quite good in taste, but like I mentioned, i am not huge fan of wine.
That's why my opinion may be very subjcetive.
One bottle of wine with your family to dinner is most certainly healthy. It helps with digestion and is good for your heart, helps relaxing and brings inspiration when you need it. Of course as with everyhing in resonable amounts.
I wouldn't try distilling my own wine, too much of a hassle, it wouldn't be good either so why do it when there are already enough delicious wines to choose from ;)
You asked if one bottle of wine every day is healthy. I think that a one bottle of wine doesn't has very destructive influance on our health other than we will zigzag after it. I think that a key word in this question is "every day". If we drink alkohol every day then it is the best way to finish as participant of AA meetings.
My parents makes a wine and I know how it is made. I have to admit that it is the best wine for me. I am person which really like home-made products and I appreciate when somebody treats me their own wine.
Bottle of wine everyday sounds a bit like an overkill to me, even if it's healthy.
I was trying to distilling wine with my grandpa and it was delicious. But waiting for end of this process was terrible :D.
My favorites though are sweet or semi-sweet ones, I like drinking them after a good dinner or for special occasion.
>Do you think drinking one bottle of wine to dinner every day is healthy?
What kind of question is this?! Whole Mediterranean region qould be long dead if it wasn't healthy, yet they are alive and seem to be much happier than people north of them. Of course its table wine, but still...
>Would you like to try distilling wine and if you did, was it good?
I would definitely like to try it, but I guess I don't have enough space for the required tools and glasses for it. Also I'm impatient so I probably would be a "very quick" distiller.
You said one bottle is too much. So how much would be acceptable for you?
It looks like this:

Costs about 40 zł but it's worth it in my opinion. It's very sweet white wine. You might like it as it is not bitter and doesn't fell like you are drinking wine. More like drinking grape juice.
I believe that a glass of red wine is very beneficial for health but I think that a bottle a day could be taking it a step to far.
My grandfather is distilling his own wine and it's quite tasty. I have never tried it myself, but I like trying new things and that one sounds as interesting as any.
Drinking wine everyday is not healthy. They are classified as alcoholic beverages, and these are known for high calories. In addition, the daily drinking of wine can gradually lead us to an alcohol addiction, and also trigger the onset of a heart disease. To sum up I would agree with the fact that drinking red wine occasionally brings a good result, but, in excess, it is unfortunately the opposite. Destiliated wine are brandy, whiskey, etc. Such drinks are ideal for important celebrations. Their specific taste and high alcohol concentration make us drink a moderate amount of alcohol, which allows us savor their taste.
Unfortunately, I have never tried the home distilled wine, but I wish I will.
