Wine or beer? Experts discover which is healthiest in major study

"The findings emphasise that the health risks of alcohol depend not only on the amount of alcohol consumed, but also on the type of beverage."

"Even low to moderate intake of spirits, beer or cider is linked to higher mortality, while low to moderate intake of wine may carry lower risk."

"Moderate wine drinkers had a 21 per cent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared with people who occasionally or never drink alcohol."

"Drinkers of spirits, beers and ciders were found to have a 9 per cent higher risk of dying from such diseases."

A study involving over 340,000 adults in Britain indicates that wine drinkers face a significantly lower risk of death than those who prefer beer, cider, or spirits. Moderate wine consumption is linked to a reduced likelihood of developing heart-related diseases. The research emphasizes that both the amount and type of alcohol consumed affect health risks. Moderate wine drinkers showed a 21% lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease compared to non-drinkers, while those consuming spirits, beers, and ciders had a 9% higher risk of mortality from such diseases.
