Hello Joann
Lately there has been alot of talk about a glass of red wine a day being one way to help prevent heart attack. While this is true for some people it is not right for everyone and your best bet would be to see your doctor and ask them what they think. They will be able to tell you specifically if it is ok based on your health and your lifestyle. I hope this was helpful.
sorry about the delay
