The Surprising Truth About Wine and Fat

Good news for wine lovers—your favorite drink contains zero fat! That’s right, not a single trace. But that’s not all—wine is also cholesterol-free, making it one of the more health-conscious beverage choices. So, the next time you pour yourself a glass, you can sip without worrying about your waistline.

Moderate wine consumption, especially red wine, has even been linked to heart health benefits, thanks to antioxidants like resveratrol. While wine is no substitute for exercise or a balanced diet, it can be part of a healthy lifestyle when enjoyed responsibly.

So go ahead—raise that glass guilt-free. Your waistline won’t mind, and your heart might even send you a thank-you note!

Marisa Fancy along with her husband and four children dreamt of moving “Up North”. They had vacationed for years in northern Michigan and in 1995 they finally made the move.

The family was always out exploring, but with 4 kids there was some limitations on what they could do. Marisa discovered the amazing network of trails in Northern Michigan after Steve died and she would walk for miles. The trails provided her with peace, comfort and solitude at a difficult time in her life. Later, after meeting Guy who would become her second husband, she learned to golf and found another passion she could enjoy in beautiful Northern Michigan.

Marisa has been the family historian, writer, and poet for as long as she can remember. She has always loved to write and has now found a creative outlet for it other than family. You can read her articles in Adventures in Northern Michigan, Northern Michigan History and Golf Up North.
