Wine has many health benefits, but that said it isn’t calorie free, and as well as it being a diuretic like all alcohol, it dehydrates you which makes cellulite more visible. The most damaging aspect of alcohol in general to our goals are its effect on estrogen and testosterone. Firstly ,it raises estrogen - bad thing - as this encourages fat accumulation, it also decreases testosterone again this is bad, and it does this by up to as much as 30%, secondly it decreases protein synthesis drastically and it also messes with nutrient absorption, once alcohol converts in the liver it produces acetates in the blood stream, your body will favour acetates as an energy source to glucose until these acetates are used up, that essentially means whatever you’re eating during this time will most likely be stored as fat as your body is already running on the acetates. I would say the frequency of having it is the problem. I would say 2-3 glasses per week max. Well...that's just my 2c....
