Fall is the season of harvest and there are all kinds of fruits available in the market.
This fall, grape prices are lower than usual, so many people are making their own wine!
However
Did you know?
Although it may seem safe and healthy to choose and make your own wine, there are many health problems!
1.
Why don’t you drink homemade wine?
1. Homemade wine has poor conditions and hygiene cannot be guaranteed.
Grapes are not easily stored at room temperature, and homemade wine is prone to mold growth. Homemade wine containers can easily produce substances that are harmful to the body during the winemaking process. In addition, because the entire production process cannot be sterilized in an enclosed manner, home-made wine may contain excessive amounts of E. coli bacteria, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Homemade wine can be consumed within a month. However, normal wine making requires 3-4 months of fermentation (for white wines) and 1-2 years (for red wines). The fermentation temperature is usually no more than 20°C. However, home winemaking does not guarantee time and temperature.
2. Too much sugar is not healthy.
In fact, most wine making tries to avoid sugar. In developed countries, there have been rounds of painstaking efforts to make wines with less sugar or even no sugar. However, home-brewing has chosen to add more sugar to aid fermentation. Wine itself is good for you. Even diabetics can drink it, but adding too much sugar can cause some harm to the body.
3. Hidden dangers and safety cannot be guaranteed.
Methanol and methanol oil can be hidden in homemade wine and have toxic effects on the body. At present, there is no process to remove methanol and methyl alcohol from homemade wine, so some people may get headache and abdominal pain after drinking it.
4. The phenol content is low and nutrition is not guaranteed.
The phenolic content of homemade wine has been determined to be low, which is far from that of real dry red wine.

So how do you drink wine, which not only improves strength, but also keeps you healthy?
Pay attention to the three “health”, easy to get!
1. Healthy Drinking
Moderate consumption can greatly reduce the possible negative effects of alcohol on the body. What does “quantity” mean?
For a healthy adult, it is best to drink no more than two or two 50-degree white wines per day, no more than 280ml of wine per day, and 150-200ml per day for women.
2、Healthy time
The best time to drink is from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. During this period, the activity of ethanol deoxygenase in the human liver increases and alcohol is more easily metabolized, but after 9:30 p.m., the deeper into the night, the lower the liver’s ability to detoxify alcohol.
3、Healthy way
Don’t drink on an empty stomach. If you haven’t mastered the art of pairing wine with a meal, you can pair it with a little cheese, or you can eat it with a small soda crackers. Before drinking, you can take vitamin C and vitamin B supplements, eat sweet and protein foods, or drink milk to protect your stomach mucosa, which can reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on your body.
Special Reminder
Never drink too fast! Take a sip and sip slowly! Sipping wine slowly allows some of the alcohol to be released from the respiratory system, thus reducing the amount of alcohol that enters the body directly.
