Does Wine Really Help You Relax

Ever wonder what the best wines for relaxing are? Some people go for a hot cup of calming tea or rich hot chocolate, but wine lovers reach for a glass of wine. What benefits does wine have in helping you relax and does changing up your go-to beverage make your wind down even more effective?

Relaxing with a glass of wine is something many of us have done after a long day. This can have different meanings, though. Choosing something with no additives or contaminants is one way to help refuel your body, but also choosing something complex can allow you to “meditate” or focus on the flavors and bring memories or other pleasant relaxing thoughts. Especially during these times of quarantine, choosing a familiar wine can remind you of nights out or events with friends and bring on pleasant feelings.

Allowing these wines with fruitier notes to chill helps to bring out the flavors more, making the experience that much more pleasurable. Alcohol itself is a natural relaxant, but it should not always be your only solution to stress. Moderation is key so that you can continue enjoying the benefits of your relaxing glass of wine. Drinking low alcohol wines is also helpful here. High alcohol wines are best served with food as to not put you to bed too early. Resveratrol in red wine helps block enzymes linked to stress and anxiety so keeping your choices low alcohol will make your experience much more pleasurable.

Whether your wine choices are based on recommendations from others or because you liked the look of the label, there are other ways you can experiment with new wines. Wine clubs are always a good option because you get new wines delivered to your door and there are usually wide selections. Whatever wine you’re drinking, do some research and find out how the wine is best served, how much alcohol it contains, and if you’re really going for a relaxing experience, try pampering yourself with a special crystal wine glass to enjoy your selections.
