Women who drink moderate quantities of wine become pregnant more easily than their teetotal or beer-supping sisters, a Danish medical review reported.
According to Dagens Medecin a study of 30,000 women showed that those who chose a glass of wine over beer or spirits were most likely to conceive. The least likely to become pregnant were those who drank no alcohol at all.
The research was carried out by a team headed by Mette Juhl of the state serology institute, Statens Serum Institut. They could not explain the reasons for their findings.
"We know that wine-drinkers eat more healthily and are of a higher social status than beer drinkers. But ability to become pregnant does not vary according to social class," Juhl commented.
"So we cannot rule out the possibility that wine contains substances that are beneficial for fertility."

This sounds suspiciously like the logic used to back up "global warming" theory.

It's not the wine, it's the type of women who like wine.

They obviously didn't do any research in Utah. We're a bunch of teetotalers with the largest average family size in the nation.
