We do not believe too much at the Saint-Péray fair, this scientific study. The proof with André. He has been in the grapes since his youth. At 75 he is still a winemaker in Valréas: "I think it is unacceptable. In my time, wine had been drunk in the canteen and afternoon tea, and then we went to the vineyards. We are old anyway. "

In 2016 alcohol consumption the seventh risk factor for premature death and disability worldwide and the leading cause of death in people aged 15 to 49 years. But that does not matter for Jacques, a Lyoner. He prefers to continue drinking wine : "you can not live without having small pleasures in life. Everything can be bad. Eating too rich food, it is not good, too sweet food, or if you do not do enough sport, etc."

3 million deaths a year

"A glass of wine a day is not dangerous for your health"assures Marion, wine grower in Villedieu, between Vaucluse and Drôme, who takes a personal example:"my grandparents are very old, _I have centenarians in the family. They always drank a glass of red wine with every meal_. Long live the wine!"

But perhaps the word of the reason is Yves, a member of the Saint-Péray fraternity: "wines are not dangerous if you can drink them in moderation."

The study recalls that alcohol consumption is responsible worldwide for almost 3 million deaths per year. On average, men drink 4.9 glasses of alcohol a day in France. Women drink 2.9 glasses daily.
