Time to switch the mouthwash for merlot

If you ever see me drinking red wine it’s a sure sign that I’m being sociable but sober. I can’t remember when it stopped agreeing with me and I with it, but it’s the perfect prop to sip in the pub when I don’t want to be left out or last out. But I might have to reconsider my preference for white now that red has had yet another health endorsement.

Alongside lowering bad cholesterol, warding off heart disease and keeping you mentally agile, it has been lauded as fighting gum disease and tooth decay. Time to stop sneering at friends who fall asleep post-pinot noir without brushing. If I replace the Listerine with Lafite Rothschild it could only be a good thing, right? It would also reduce my husband’s snoring, as he’d never make it as far as the bed.

Cheers!
