Red wine and chocolate are good for the mind, scientists claim | Mail Online

It is the perfect excuse to round off a meal with an after-dinner mint and one last glass of Merlot.
Research suggests that red wine and chocolate are good for the mind.
It is thought that polyphenols - plant chemicals abundant in dark chocolate and wines - widen blood vessels, speeding the supply of blood to the brain.
This provides it with a rush of oxygen and sugars, making complex calculations easier and quicker.

In other words, having some chocolate with your red wine could be better for you than just having a drink alone.

I know that the red wine is also very good for your health, but only on glass per day.
