Are you more healthy or educated if you drink wine?

Study: Moms Who Drink Wine While Pregnant Have Better Behaved Kids « CBS Atlanta

A study out of London from January, 2014 poses its finding that women who drink one glass of wine per week while pregnant have better behaved children.

To be honest, I thought the study was a bit odd in that they were seeking information on behavior that is heavily influenced by your environment but what I was actually drawn to in the article was this - that women who drink at least one glass of wine a week tend to make healthier lifestyle decisions and are better educated. 

Why would this be? Is it affluence/ability to buy wine? Is it education about wine and knowing that wine is a healthier choice (in moderation, of course)? Or is wine considered to be an upper or middle class type drink? Is wine influenced on those in certain classes as an "acceptable" alcohol drink? Is it just all about money? 

I see the truth in all the above reasons but I personally like to think that it is because wine in itself is:

1. A healthier choice of alcohol
2. Wine has become so much more accessible and affordable in the last 10 years thanks to the great winemakers in this country and a few others

Great wine + low cost = smart person.

When you are in a great theological, philosophical, scientific, friendly, romantic, etc. conversation with some friends, spouses or colleagues, what is often in your hand? WINE.

Does wine affect what we eat? Does it pair well with fried chicken or baked chicken? Most would say baked. Wine helps me to be a better eater because I want what I eat to enhance what I drink and vice versus. Because of that, I have a healthier food lifestyle.

What other alcohol can you drink and learn about that is as diverse, complicated, complex, sensitive and yummy than WINE?

Answer: None.

Now, no arguing you Bourbon drinkers. Come to me when you develop a soft, fruity bourbon and maybe we can talk.

Personally, I do not buy this whole one glass of wine a week while pregnant makes better behaved children. I think it is much more credit to the environment a child grows up in. And, as all of us wine momma's know, a balanced lifestyle between fun, wine and family, lends itself to great kids......and maybe some future wine makers. (MY fingers are crossed at least!)

Cheers!
