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 ?
