A glass of wine before a meal does help reduce any rise in BG from the meal.Of course we all differ (to deny that is madness), but you and I seem to be in the same camp here.Wine is seen, in general, to be good for health (again, we all differ and I wouldn't say that to addicts) so I'm happy to have wine before my meal.eta, we can only go by our own evidence and experience. We know that dietary advice in the UK has been exceptionally poor, with their emphasis on the Eatwell Plate and so on - which has been influenced by "nutritional science" research carried out by powerful and wealthy religious groups in the USA. Ditto dietary advice on alcohol has been influenced by the same groups, which are anti-meat and anti-alcohol.  Do what feels best for you.  Your evidence counts as much or more than the so-called "experts" with whatever agenda they're pushing.</blockquote>
