RE: Wine Explained: Is Wine Really Healthy Or Not?

in #steemstem7 years ago

I remember that I read about ancient Romans and Greeks using wine to make water safer to drink. Supposedly water in the larger cities wasn't sanitary so they mixed water with wine, as alcohol in wine killed some of waterborne diseases.

you are completely right, adding wine to water was the best option to keep the water clean and ofc they could drink more before getting drunk! :P
