Yes it is, but not if you drink a cask per night.
It has been medically shown that a glass or two of red wine per night helps keep your LDL (Bad Cholesterol) down. It also thins your blood and makes it less prone to clotting and therefore causing a blockage in a narrow artery.
BTW: To remember the difference between GOOD cholesterol & BAD cholesterol, consider this: here are two types;
LDL (Low Density Lipoproteins) &
HDL (High Density Lipoproteins)
L stands for Lousy
H stands for Healthy
...so Let's have a glass of red, huh ?
