USING AN ETHICAL LENS TO ANALYZE HOW THE BENEFITS OF A MODERATE WINE CONSUMPTION ARE PRESENTED IN THE SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE

Summary/Abstract: The scientific literature on the benefits of wine consumption is full of controversy. Many of the ethical issues related to these researches were broken and caused results to be doubted. Wine, one of the oldest alcoholic beverages known, has sparked quite a controversy regarding its negative side effects (because of its alcohol concentration). However, wine, unlike other alcoholic drinks, does have its positive side-effects, that are commonly overlooked. In various medical, behavioural, nutritional and psychological studies, the beneficial traits of a moderate wine consumption are underlined. This study wants to gather data that explain, from an interdisciplinary point of view, why wine can serve as social, psychological, medical but also cultural and traditional aid in human development.
