Food and Wine
by tammy on July 22, 2006
At least, according to this article we wine drinkers have it over beer drinkers when it comes to our health: researchers in Denmark investigated the link between the purchase of beer and wine and various food items from supermarkets.
They analysed 3.5 million transactions chosen at random from 98 outlets of two large Danish supermarket chains over a six month period ( September 2002 to February 2003 ).
Customers were categorised as "wine only," "beer only," "mixed," or "non-alcohol" buyers. Details of items bought, the number and price of the items, and the total charge for each customer's transaction were recorded.
They found that wine buyers bought more olives, fruit and vegetables, poultry, cooking oil, and low fat cheese, milk, and meat than beer buyers. Beer buyers bought more ready cooked dishes, sugar, cold cuts, chips, pork, butter or margarine, sausages, lamb, and soft drinks than wine buyers.
Okay, so it looks like food has more to do with it than the actual drinking of wine, but it's funny because generally speaking, I am the type to buy more fruits and vegetables and fresh food rather than processed foods.
