Memory
Recent research at Reading University has shown that moderate drinking of champagne each week has the potential to help with cognitive functions such as memory. Now - they did do this research using rats....but...we understand there's a willing waiting list of people queuing up to participate, and not just pensioners. Interesting!
Taittinger Brut Reserve Champagne NV £35.00
Heart
Champagne is made predominantly from red wine grapes. So just like red wine, sparkling wine contains high levels of polyphenols – antioxidants found in red grapes but less so in white grapes. Polyphenols can lower blood pressure and prevent heart problems. So - drinking champagne regularly and in moderation, has the potential to reduce the risk of heart disease and strokes.
Paul Herard Champagne Brut Blanc de Noir NV £21.99
Drunk Quickly
Not sure about this one being good for you - but it's due to the bubbles. It was decided that fizz gets into the blood stream quicker as a result of the carbonation 'rushing' the alcohol from the stomach to the small intestine. Well that certainly gets the party, reception going quicker. Drink water as well as champagne to re-hydrate, that will help with the crash that follows the buzz you get from a few quick glasses of Fizz.
Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne NV £27.50
Skin Care
“Champagne detoxifies the skin with antioxidants and lightening tartaric acid helps even out the skin tone,” says dermatologist Marina Peredo. “For those with oily skin, its antibacterial properties aid in leaving last year’s breakouts behind.” Are we really going to wash in champagne?? And - no-one ever has any left over.
Bollinger Special Cuvee Champagne NV £39.99
Less Fattening
