Glass of wine MOSCOW, Jan 2 The benefits of a glass of red wine for the cardiovascular system are fiction, if a person still drinks wine, then it is better to choose white, since it is removed from the body more quickly, President of the Bakulev National Medical Research Center for Cardiovascular Surgery, President of the All-Russian public organization «League of Nation's Health», academician said in an interview with RIA Novosti RAS Leo Bockeria. «It's all fiction. It's another matter that it tastes better than white. But if you drink, then drink white wine,» Bockeria said, answering the question whether there is any benefit from a glass of red wine. He noted that white wine has a good diuretic effect and is quickly excreted from the body. «As proof, I cite an example when a toastmaster is forced to drink several liters of wine at a Georgian feast. But he drinks only white wine. Because if they drank red wine, they wouldn't have lived half their lives. Red wine, and, therefore, alcohol is not excreted from the body for a long time, «Bokeria explained.
