Hello WB, first post here – not sure if there is a better category for this discussion, but what are your top articles, blogs, talks, websites, research, etc. which offer a good defense of wine? I’m referring to the new temperance / prohibition movement which seems to conflate a healthy and moderate enjoyment of wine with pure alcohol drunk to excess. I’ve been liking the work of Felicity Carter at the Drinks Insider, for example.

Eric Asimov wrote a recent article on the topic.
And this book written by a medical and scientific writer is excellent and does not get enough attention.

Thank you. Here’s an interesting article by Dr. Erik Skovenborg:
Interesting articles in the discussion here, but there’s also a part of me that says you should just reject the premise that you have to defend your choice to drink in moderation!
Editing - I like to call back to the old truism that “the dose makes the poison”. If I took a group of teetotalers and a group of moderate drinkers, the variation in “health” within each group is much larger than the difference between the groups.

This is excellent and what I have been saying all along about the meta analysis used as the basis for the Surgeon General warning:
Vinay Prasad is the controversial new head of FDA’s CBER division.
