We all know how great a glass of wine tastes with dinner, or how it relaxes you at the end of a long workday. However, that glass of wine might also be doing other work behind the scenes – much more important work.

According to various sources, the health benefits that come from moderate wine consumption (moderate is defined by the American Heart Association as one to two four-ounce glasses per day) are undeniable. So, pick up your glass of Bishop’s Vineyard and read how it’s helping you thrive.
