The relationship between wine and health, and the implications linked to cardiovascular diseases, are increasingly at the centre of Community policies, which have for some time now placed alcohol in their sights, arriving to propose, like that by now famous case of Ireland, to put a health warning on the label notifying the health risks associated with the consumption of alcohol.

A health issue, on which, as we have frequently written, there is no absolute truth, but hundreds of studies to support various theses. Surely, wine, in its very long history, has crossed and marked entire civilizations, becoming today a strong element of cultural characterization, especially in the Mediterranean countries, and assuming a myriad of different meanings, in every area of life, from the table ... to sexuality, as told by the clinical sexologist Marcello Acciaro and the cardiologist Giuseppe Sabino from the talk show on “Vino, salute ed eros”, which closed the “Porto Cervo Wine & Food Festival”.
