There are two things that seem to be getting up people's noses regarding current health issues. The first is the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus and its associated Covid-19 disease. People are sick of hearing about it, and want the pandemic “to be over”, so that they can go back to “the way things were 2¾ years ago”. The second topic is that when we read something new about wine and health, it seems to contradict the previous thing we read — sometimes wine is good for us, and sometimes it is not.

As has been well documented, consumer interest in moderating consumption of alcohol has been steadily increasing over the past decade, creating a long-term market opportunity for, amongst other things, lower alcohol wine. And yet, so far, wine containing reduced alcohol levels has not made the level of impact in the US compared with other lower ABV options – most notably ready-to-drink (RTD) alcohol products, with IWSR consumer data showing that 1 in 5 US RTD consumers reporting they have migrated from wine.

Researchers have published a review in the journal Cosmetics valorizing the utility of extracts derived from wine-making byproducts for cosmetics and oral care; although the authors note the extraction process must be carefully considered.

Grape pomaces are particularly rich in bioactive molecules, especially phenolic compounds. These materials can be recovered and used as active ingredients in cosmetic products.

A drink or two a day isn’t thought to be particularly harmful, at least according to some guidelines on alcohol consumption. Some studies even indicate that a moderate level of drinking may benefit heart health and the CDC recommends that men have no more than two drinks per day, and women no more than one. But a new study of over 350,000 people has found that even drinking a small amount of alcohol increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Nobody actually knows what causes red-wine headaches. UC Davis would like to change that but needs to raise the money to investigate it.

UC Davis has started crowd-funding of a study that would attempt to find a correlation between headaches and components of red wine. The university has to ask us for money because, as the crowdfunding page makes clear, the National Institute of Health "has never been supportive of headache research, despite the huge amount of suffering migraine and related conditions cause".
