Unfiltered, unfined wine is healthier than the fined, filtered, additive-laden slop on most shelves. Our ancestors drank wine daily and built civilizations. If you tried to do that, your life would fall apart. The alcohol content alone doesn't explain this gap. What you're drinking today is only superficially the same as what the Romans drank. Their wine wasn't stripped of all the compounds that help your body process the alcohol. It wasn't laden with additives that make the negative side-effects worse.
