I have to drink red wine to boost my good cholesterol. I don’t particularly enjoy it, but I do like some of the labels:
Names too. What’s not to love about calling your vintage Banshee wine (though I don’t see where that bird image represents a banshee at all) or, like Gnarly Head (totally!)?

I’m curious–were you prescribed red wine to boost cholesterol? I mean, if you like red wine, that’s fine. But as far as drinking it for health, that’s kind of controversial in the medical world.
Yes, I was. And I’m aware of the dispute, but as my good cholesterol likes to sink into the basement, I’m willing to do what I can to coax it back into the light. My doctor figures it’s worth trying.
Saturated fat can also raise HDL . . . wine and cheese, FTW!
Thanks. I am at no risk of running short on cheese in my diet. 🙂
I also drink wine because it may help digest iron and between my vegetarian diet and donating blood, my iron has sometimes gotten alarmingly low.
