Wine And COVID

Inconclusive but interesting: Wine Could Help You Fight Covid | Wine-Searcher News & Features

This confirms that my wife and I make a perfect team - she drinks lots of tea whereas I drink lots of wine. Sadly though, neither stopped us getting Covid.

I drank a lot of tannic wines through the holidays and got Covid the first week in the New Year. No symptoms other than completely losing my smell/taste (not even a stuffy nose) and some body aches for a couple days. It’s starting to come back a month later, but I have to say, it’s not 100% back, maybe at most 75%. My keen smell is not there, and it’s quite scary. I can only hope it comes back in a few weeks/months. A friend who is a leading nose/lung doctor says covid fried the nerves and they should come back, but might not ever be the same.
