Health warnings for pregnant women
Health warnings on bottles of wine urging pregnant women not to drink alcohol are to be made compulsory in France according to Decanter magazine. All bottles imported and sold in France will need to display the warning. Producers can print the warning in writing or feature a government approved picture.
India should enact sensible health safety laws when it comes to alcohol. In the absence of laws like these, it is important for wine drinkers, producers, distributors, hoteliers and restaurateurs to constantly inform the general public not only about the health benefits but also about the risks of drinking wine.
So the next time you are attending a wine tasting whether it is being conducted by a Sommelier at a hotel or by a friend at a dinner party, please ask the speaker to talk about the health questions related to wine as well. It will help spread awareness about when to drink and when not to drink wine.
