RELATED ARTICLE: What They Say:

As food, wine supplies fluids, calories, minerals, vitamins, proteins, and other dietary elements. As medicine, wine may act as an appetite stimulant, stomachic, tonic, tranquilizer, anesthetic, astringent, antiseptic, vasodilator, diaphoretic, diuretic, and antibacterial agent, in addition to its age-old use as a universal menstruum for active therapeutic agents derived from plants. It should be stated that all foods are medicines, and that many medicines are also foods. Like any food, medicine is beneficial in proper dosage, and harmful when taken in excess.
