Wine Is Good For You!

In the 1990?s a news report, later titled the ?French Paradox?, was brought to the public eye after researchers discovered that the French who live on a diet of cheese, butter, organ meats, eggs and other cholesterol laden food had a lower rate of heart attack than in America. The results as to why this was so were very surprising to many: moderate and steady consumption of wine. How is wine good for your health?

Many believe red wine is better for you than white wine, because that is what early studies found. Skin from red grapes contained a powerful antioxidant called resveratrol, which was transferred into red wine during manufacturing. However, nowadays manufacturers are altering their winemaking processes for both red and white wine to boost health benefits.

Some of the more recent studies conducted from around the world have shown that wine can be a very powerful agent in helping prevent heart and lung problems and even strokes! In 2002 the American Thoracic Society found that the antioxidants from white wine helped improve lung function while in the same year the William Harvey Research Institute found that polyphenols in red grape skins helped keep arteries open and lowered the risk of strokes. University of California at Davis discovered in 1995 that coronary heart disease was reduced and research conducted in 2004 at the University of Ferrara in Italy showed that the elderly who consumed moderate amounts of wine had healthier blood vessels than those who didn?t.

Aside from these benefits there are many others specific to men or women. For men, in 2004, the Worcester Medical Center in Massachusetts found that wine helped lower the risk of a heart attack for men with high blood pressure. The Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Australia in 2004 found that women who consumed wine had a lower risk of ovarian cancer and the Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology Unit, St. Thomas? Hospital in London discovered wine helped with stronger bones.

The key however is moderation. What is ?moderation?? Studies have said that ?moderation? is considered to be one or two glasses a day. Drinking more than this can be bad for your health and cause more diseases than prevent them. Wine does have a rather high calorie content which can put on the pounds if not consumed in moderation. But aside from just weight gain you risk far more serious health problems such as kidney and liver disease with over consumption.

So wine drinkers raise your glasses for a toast to the benefits of a glass a day!

Tips For A Profitable Business On The Chinese Wine Market

Although not that famous as the French one, China's wine industry has the world's first rate of the annual increase in this domain. Thus, while the Chinese market registers a growth of more than 10%, the world's increase is somewhere around 1%.

However, even if the domestic Chinese wines represent 95 % of the market, the rest of 5%, which is constituted by foreigners wines is better in quality because its brewing advanced technologies.

With this information good enough to keep in your mind, here are some tips of how you can make a profitable business by entering through the Chinese wine market:

There are few imported wine agents in China and this ones will chose the foreign vintners with a special consideration and most of the times, a foreign vintner finds a suitable agent for him extremely hard. Also, there are no professional wholesalers in China. The agents themselves, have to establish the communication channels and sometimes this is really difficult to do for them. Even because of this, the agents are very cautious before importing foreign wines and dealing with foreign vintners.

Chinese people are used to the traditional consume of wine and they do not have a high appreciation of wines. Therefore, for selling at a high price, the wine has to be appreciated and this only happens if the agent gets to take a sum of money from the wine producer, in order to make a campaign by which he can make that wine known by people. But usually, foreign producers have a low production and the money is not at the very ease...

Most of the foreign producers see the exhibition in China as the only resort to growing a profitable business-which in most of the cases it's not true. They concentrate on the vinitaly China, which is the largest and most professional wine exhibition in the country. This exhibition it is now held in Shanghai and has lots of imported wine agents. But China is a large country and the fact that there is only one exhibition like this affects the whole mechanism as the producers get to know only superficially the foreigner producers, not being able to see in the same time the each producer's methods of preparing the wine.

Therefore, if you take into consideration all this aspects and try to find a solution to all the problems that might came up during your business process, you have pretty good chances to be a remarkable player on this complicated but profitable market.
