It’s no secret that I’m a champagne-aholic. It’s m’drink. And now I love it even more. A study from the University of Reading in England shows that two glasses of champagne a day are good for the heart. That’s right. My bubbly is HEALTHY! The champers contains nitric oxide, which can help decrease blood pressure (no wonder I like it after a loooong day) and diminish the chance of cardiovascular disease or stroke (no wonder I haven’t had a stroke). PLUS, champers only has 75 calories per glass, which is less than an apple and means that I can drink more (just go with my logic).
Ok and ready for ONE MORE bonus? Since it’s Earth Day and all…Pommery POP champagne has just unveiled its latest eco-friendly bevy: the POP Earth NV Champagne ($55). The company practices sustainable wine growing, managing/limiting waste and minimizing water and energy consumption. All of this helps for a greener future and healthier land. And guess what? This brew is DE-LISH – it’s definitely not too sweet (so those who turn up their noses at the sweetness of champagne, this one is crisp and refreshing and now my mouth is watering).
So I can sip knowing that I’m not getting too fat from my drink, my heart is happy, my stress level is decreased and the earth is smiling with me. CHEERS, SALUT, SKOL TO THAT!
