About Vinho
Vinho, the Portuguese term for wine, is a beloved beverage with origins tracing back thousands of years to ancient winemaking traditions in Europe. Primarily made by fermenting grapes, vinho is integral to Mediterranean and Portuguese cuisines, often served with meals or used in cooking. Nutritionally, wine is moderate in calories, providing approximately 83 calories per 100ml (red wine) and nearly no fat or protein. It contains trace amounts of minerals like calcium (6.7mg) and iron (0.3mg) but is low in vitamins and fiber. Red wine may retain certain antioxidants derived from grape skins, such as resveratrol, which is linked to potential health benefits.
Health Benefits
- Contains resveratrol, a polyphenol that may support cardiovascular health by improving blood vessel function.
- Moderate consumption has been associated with an increase in HDL (good cholesterol), aiding overall heart health.
- Antioxidants present in red wine may help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store wine in a cool, dark place between 12-16°C with the bottle lying on its side. After opening, seal tightly and refrigerate to retain quality for 3-7 days depending on the type.
