Customer Comment

Since we launched our wine on-line business customer feedback has been tremendous.  Every week we hear from customers about their enjoyment of our Southwest France wine range and how subsequent to consuming those high in procyanidins they have experienced improved cardiovascular health. Thank you to all those customers for their comments and we welcome more.

Blood Pressure

"A customer of ours told me recently that his blood pressure had dropped like a stone after drinking one glass a day of Madiran (south west France) wine, made from the Tannat grapes. So after Christmas I brought a sampler pack of three bottles from www.lifestylewines.co.nz. Lo and behold, my blood pressure has dropped quite dramatically. Lifestyle Wines has evaluated which wines are best for your heart and health and it's all on their website." Extract from an article by Peter Arthur in his Feb '08 Touchwood Books (Hastings) Newsletter

"I had my blood pressure checked at my Doctor's surgery and then later in the day I had my first glass of Madiran Wine. After ten days of drinking a 165 ml glass of the wine per day I had my blood pressure checked again, my blood pressure had dropped from 170 over 86 to 130 over 80. The only thing that had been added to my existing medicine/exercise regime over the ten days was the daily glass of Madiran wine. I was surprised and impressed with the rapid improvement in my blood pressure and on the strength of that result I ordered another 12 bottles of your wine." Warwick of Christchurch

"My blood pressure had been around 160 over 80 and I never can get it down below 150. But without any changes to lifestyle, except having the daily glass of Madiran wines, it was measured last week at the hospital as 126 over 60. My doctor will fall off his chair." Betty from Lower Hutt

These customers are examples of many who after about 2 weeks of a daily glass of the heart healthy wines have experiences consistent with Prof Roger Corder's research, experiments and conclusions.

As Corder has suggested - Perhaps there is significance for our health that with today's prevalence of processed and refined foods, our consumption of procyanidins is much lower than the amount we likely evolved with!

Enjoyment

"Basking in the Marlborough sun with my first glass of Domaine Moureou. It is delightful, a truly lovely wine, and am feeling healthier already! Hard to believe the others may be even better." Retired Marlborough winemaker

General Well-being

"I have greater vitality, more energy to withstand long days and I am sleeping better"  Bob of Auckland

A very compelling comment on public heart health was made by Professor Giovanni de Gaetano, the head of research laboratories in biomedical sciences at an Italian university. He stated at the Wine & Health Symposium in Pau in 2007 that epidemiological studies have established that nowhere in the world, where populations are given drug treatments to manage cardiovascular health, have they achieved the low levels of heart disease related deaths, as occurs in Gers where medical services are described as basic.  (Gers is the region of South West France our wines come from.)
