Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Wine, particularly red wine, has a long-standing history of traditional use in various cultures for supporting overall health, including the hepatic (liver) system. In traditional European medicine, moderate wine consumption has been associated with improved digestion and believed to support liver function. The rationale was often based on observational associations between moderate wine drinkers and lower rates of liver-related ailments, possibly due to its antioxidant content, such as polyphenols and resveratrol.

However, scientific evidence for wine’s hepatoprotective effects is limited and nuanced. While some studies suggest that moderate consumption of red wine may be associated with reduced risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared to other alcoholic beverages, the benefits are primarily attributed to non-alcoholic components like polyphenols. In contrast, excessive wine (or any alcohol) consumption is well-established as a cause of liver damage, including alcoholic fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and cirrhosis.

In summary, the use of wine to support the hepatic system is rooted in tradition rather than robust scientific evidence. While there may be minor scientific support for moderate consumption due to polyphenolic compounds, the potential risks of alcohol to the liver generally outweigh any purported benefits, and wine is not recommended as a liver supplement in modern medical practice.
