Abstract
Introduction
The consumption of red wine has historically been associated with a reduction in cardiovascular risk, with sometimes controversial scientific evidence.
Method
A survey was carried out via whatsapp dated 09/01/22 to a cohort of doctors from the province of Malaga, asking about possible healthy red wine consumption habits, differentiating: never, 3–4 glasses per week, 5–6 weekly drinks and 1 daily drink.
Results
184 physicians answered, with a mean age of 35 years ± 11.1, of which 84 (45.6%) were women, distributed in different specialties, the majority being Internal Medicine with 52 (28.2%). The most frequently chosen option was D (59.2%), followed by A (21.2%), C (14.7%) and B (5%).
Conclusions
More than half of the doctors surveyed recommended zero consumption, and only 20% indicated that a daily drink could be healthy in non-drinkers.
