They use at leased one glass to a bottle a day. Recent investigations have learned that drinking red wine every day is keeping your cholesterol low (number one cause of dead) and therefor avoid hart attacks. This is due to a component what is only available in the skin of red grapes. This in combination with the olive oil, raw vegetables, fruit and less red meat keeps those peoples in good condition. And I do believe there is one other thing.. all those (well most of them) don't know what stress is, it all in there lifestyle....... and not only there food. Rob
