title: [About wine intake and cardiovascular diseases].
abstract: There is a (almost) new current understanding of the health effects of alcohol consumption. The alcohol remains a risk factor in certain diseases. Recent population studies and plausible mechanisms suggest a protective effect of alcohol against coronary disease. International comparisons, starting from 1819, suggest that the type of beverage has a main role (the 'French Paradox').
