Just two glasses a day has been proven to increase testosterone levels in males which can help prevent erectile dysfunction. This is because the compound Quercertin blocks the UGT2B17 enzyme, which is used in men to flush out testosterone. The drink also increases sex drive in both men and women. Nutritionist, Shona Wilkinson added:

Red wine in moderation may increase blood flow, whilst relaxing you and lowering your inhibitions. But only have it in small amounts, as you don’t want to overdo it.

Ah shame – I was hoping the study was purporting that we should be on the bottle each and every day. Nevertheless, it’s good to know that if I’m in the need of a quick and fun aphrodisiac, I just need to pop down to the offy and get me a nice bottle of Cab Sav.

And sex isn’t all it’s good for. Apparently red wine can also reverse the damage caused by cigarettes. Result.
