“…For example, wine drinkers make different dietary choices compared with beer or spirits drinkers 40 ; higher wine intake associates with a higher intake of healthy food items. 41 In conclusion, this intervention study confirms large-scale cross-sectional and prospective epidemiological studies that show regular moderate-to-heavy intake of alcohol raises BP in women. Our results provide no support for the concept that regular low-level alcohol intake can lower BP, suggesting that the J-shaped relationship between alcohol and BP in several studies is more likely because of the presence of unmeasured confounders.…”

A fter the effects of body weight, alcohol consumption is one of the strongest potentially modifiable risk factors for hypertension.1 Paradoxically, several cross-sectional epidemiological studies suggest that low-level alcohol consumption (4-7 drinks/wk) associates with lower blood pressure (BP) in women, with curvilinearity of the alcohol-BP relationship more marked in women compared with men.2,3 However, associations between alcohol intake and hypertension have not been as extensively evaluated in women and women are underrepresented in the heavier drinking categories in most crosssectional studies.The Marks and Spencer Cardiovascular Risk Study from the United Kingdom of >14 000 women 4 reported a decreased prevalence of hypertension with ≤14 drinks/wk but suggested this was largely explained by age, body mass index, physical activity, and family history of premature coronary heart disease. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) III study with >9 000 women 5 showed associations of alcohol intake with systolic BP and pulse pressure that were considerably smaller in women compared with men. A subsequent NHANES analysis confined to those drinking ≥1 drinks/d 6 and a cross-sectional study from Spain, 7 bothshowed that systolic and diastolic BP significantly associated with alcohol in men but not in women. In contrast, cross-sectional studies from Brazil and Canada showed substantially increased levels of BP in women for the same level of intake compared with men. 8,9 Prospective population studies have not resolved this controversy. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study 10 showed that long-term risks for developing hypertension with ≥210 g alcohol/wk were similar in men and women. The Nurses Health Study II of 70 891 women aged 25 to 42 years 11 found a biphasic effect of alcohol, with a 14% decrease in risk in those consuming 2 to 3.5 drinks/wk and a 20% increase in those drinking >14 drinks/wk. The Hisayama study from Japan showed incidence of hypertension increased 2-fold with light drinking (<23 g/d) in men but not in women. 12 In the US-based Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, the 20-year incidence of hypertension was decreased in women at all levels of alcohol intake. 13A meta-analysis in 2009 identified 12 prospective studies that included 11 male and 9 female data sets.14 The study reported a linear relationship between alcohol and risk of hypertension for men but a modest protective effect in women drinking <15 Abstract--Alcohol has been consistently demonstrated to elevate blood pressure (BP) in intervention studies in men. There are uncertainties, however, as to the nature of the relationship in women. We, therefore, determined in healthy premenopausal women the dose-dependent effects of alcohol on ambulatory BP. Twenty-four participants aged 25 to 49 years, with a mean alcohol intake of 202±94 g alcohol/wk and mean 24-hour systolic and diastolic BP of 110.2±8.9/68.9±5.7 mm Hg, were randomized to a 3-period cross-over study. Each even...

“…A study carried out in a French population showed that moderate alcohol drinkers or wine drinkers had better dietary habits and healthier behaviours compared to other drinkers or abstainers (Ruidavets et al, 2004). Additionally, a recent study conducted in Denmark showed that wine buyers made more purchases of healthy food items than people who routinely bought beer (Johansen et al, 2006).…”

Objective: To describe the association between alcohol beverage preference and dietary habits comparing wine drinkers with other alcoholic beverage drinkers and with nondrinkers in Spanish university graduates. Subjects: A total of 10 526 men and women, who were recruited using mailed questionnaires, participated in this study. Methods: A semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire previously validated in Spain was used together with other questionnaires designed to collect lifestyle characteristics. Results: Wine drinkers reported higher intake of fibre and olive oil, and lower consumption of fat (only men), dairy products, sugared soda drinks and fast food as compared with other alcoholic beverage groups and nondrinkers. Men nondrinkers were more likely to be physically active during their leisure time than wine drinkers. No relevant differences were found in adherence to the Mediterranean food pattern according to alcoholic beverage preference. Conclusion: This similarity in dietary patterns between wine drinkers and other groups suggests that the positive cardiovascular effects reported for wine should not be attributed to an overall healthier dietary pattern of wine drinkers.

Studies evaluating the health benefits of alcohol and wine have demonstrated that moderate consumption is associated with a decrease in all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Various populations and alcoholic beverages exhibit this effect to different degrees. Alcoholic beverages exhibit multiple mechanisms that may favorably influence cardiac risk potential actions on platelets, antioxidants, fibrinolysis, and lipids. However, other data suggest that the perceived benefit of alcoholic beverages in general, and wine in particular, are the result of socioeconomic confounders. In the absence of more rigorous evidence, it is not currently possible to define the role of wine in human health.
