Wine drinkers live more healthily than beer drinkers

I've just been reading an article online about how wine drinkers generally buy healthier foods than beer drinkers...
"People who bought wine at the store were also more likely to buy more olives, fruits and vegetables, fish, lean meats and dairy products than beer consumers did, said the study.
Beer buyers were more likely to buy frozen dinners, cold cuts, pork, mutton, crisps, sugary products, butter, margarine and soft drinks"
I have to admit, I drink wine (well that and JD oh and a bit of SC.. lol ) and I really do buy a lot of lean meats, veg, salads, good cheese and fruit!.. it's really weird.
What do the rest of you think?
Those that drink water are even better :thumbup:

no headaches biggrin
well yes i do try and buy fresh and cook even now on my own i still end up cooking for 4 and just freeze it, but iam partial to the odd ale or 3. dont drink larger unless its decent stuff from the continent, quality over quantity.
wine in moderation is supposed to be better for you anyway. drinkies
niether wine, nor beer/lager seemed to benefit me health-wise....
...but then, I was trying very very hard!

and beer is the jesus's urine?
I think the article could be right we do not hit the fat foods to much, and yes we drink wine, grape & grain.
....but I do like my butter. redface
I def. think there's some truth in it... when my brother has been drinking beer he's heads straight for the supermarket and buys stodge - cakes bread etc.. he says it's something about the carbs and your body thinks it's in need of it dunno
In the summer, we sit outside a lot esp. on a night time and love nothing better than a glass of wine and a salad, so yes I would say there's some truth in it.
we eat healthy most days except friday night is carry out night. Drink wise ......let you guess jaymar
Is it the case that healthier eaters prefer to drink wine rather than beer or that wine drinkers prefer to eat more healthily?
Lies damn lies and statistics....
Retailers produce these kinds of reports all the time - another reason Tesco and the like love it when you use your loyalty card (though they don't actually need you to use it with modern day till technology - it just adds more detail, such as age banding, frequency of visits etc.).
As for this particular report, I am sure there will also be some correlation with customer age bands and income groups, which will have had a huge influence on the results.
For example:
Students - low income, more likely to buy beer and junk food.

just as im cooking i thought of another twist to this:
Garlic; do wine drinkers use it more in cooking than beer drinker its certainly healthy.
Tescos now do soaked garlic which i first had in spain, you eat them whole glass of white wine mmmmmm
and yes i have just put a whole clove in.

I gave up drinking alcohol last summer and I feel much healthier for it. I was drinking and smoking way too much at the time and turning into a wheezing blob. So desperate measures were called for. So no drink and I'm down to 10 ciggies a day. I eat healthily and cook meals raw veggies and stuff.

Great stuff... I do this but it really upsets my stomach - so much for being good for you :cry:
