Benefits of Drinking White Wine

Red wine seems to get most of the spotlight for its powerful antioxidants, but white wine shares many of the same health benefits. Just remember that the key to getting health benefits from wine is to drink it in moderation.

  • White wine may help balance blood sugar levels.
  • White wine helps repair the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels and protect against many heart diseases such as heart attack and stroke.
  • White wines that are high in polyphenols that may lower the risk of prostate cancer.
  • The caffeic acid in white wine may reduce the risk of heart and kidney problems.
  • There is evidence that white wine may help to improve cholesterol levels, including raising HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels and lowering LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels.
  • Researchers have found that people who drink white wine enjoy better sleep quality.
  • One serving of white wine contains 3 percent of the daily amount of magnesium you need to stay healthy.
  • White wine contains 3 percent of your riboflavin (vitamin B2) and niacin requirements which help maintain healthy blood cells, boost energy levels, and help protect skin and eye health.

Some of Our White Wine Favorites

Chardonnay: This is the world’s most famous white wine grape. Some of the best come from France and California, but there are also many fine examples from Italy, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Try the award-winning Jordan Chardonnay, one of the best from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma, California.

Pinot Grigio: The pinot grigio grape is a pink-skinned mutation of pinot noir. When produced in France, it is called Pinot Gris. Many people’s favorites come from Italy, but France, Germany, California and Oregon do very well with the grape. Try the award-winning Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Italy.

Sauvignon Blanc: Sauvignon Blanc is typically crisp with a citrusy zing. It is now grown in wine regions all over the world and has become the signature white wine of New Zealand, where it features intense green citrus and berry fruit flavors. Try the award-winning Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc from the Marlborough region of New Zealand.
