People tend to pour more wine than they intend to, according to Cornell University research. Wide glasses lead to a 12% increase in pouring, while white wine is poured more generously due to its color. Vatican City drinks the most wine per capita, and red wine in moderation may have health benefits. Prince Charles owns an Aston Martin that runs on bioethanol made from wine.
Many people unwind with a glass of wine after a long day, but there can be a fine line between feeling relaxed and drinking too much. Research from Cornell University suggests that people tend to drink more wine than they intend to because they don’t know the best way to pour it. For example, people pour about 12% more wine when using a wide glass, rather than a narrower one. They tend to overflow by about the same amount when holding the glass, rather than spill while it’s set on a table. People will also pour themselves a more generous serving of white wine because it’s camouflaged by the color of the glass, unlike red wine.
Raise a glass of wine:
Of all the wine-drinking nations in the world, Vatican City takes the top spot, drinking an average of 19.5 gallons (74 liters) per capita annually.
In moderation, red wine is thought to have some health benefits, as a single glass provides a large amount of antioxidants and may reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
