About Spanish red wine

Spanish red wine is a globally celebrated beverage originating from Spain's diverse wine-making regions such as Rioja, Ribera del Duero, and Priorat. Known for its rich flavor profiles, Spanish red wine is crafted from various grape varieties like Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Monastrell. A standard 5-ounce serving contains approximately 125 calories, with minimal protein, carbohydrates, and no fat. Rich in antioxidants like resveratrol, red wine also provides small amounts of potassium and iron. While alcohol content typically ranges between 12-15%, moderation is key to enjoying its potential benefits while minimizing health risks.

Health Benefits

• Contains flavonoids, which can help protect cells from oxidative stress and may lower the risk of chronic diseases.
• Provides small amounts of potassium (about 5% of the daily value per glass), which helps regulate blood pressure and supports muscle function.
