Weight watchers are being advised to skip diet drinks and turn to wine after new research revealed white wine was the perfect way to shed fat. Experts from the Forum of Wine and Health in Germany and the German Wine Academy conducted research on the effects of wine drinking on 40 obese patients. 50% of the patients tested were given 200 millilitres of fruit juice a day as part of a controlled diet, the other half were given the same amount of wine instead. Among those drinking the wine, the results showed the average weight lost was a little over ten pounds, compared to an average of 8.3 pounds for the juice drinkers.

Leader of the study Dr Herwig Herbert Ditschuneit says the results show that as part of a controlled diet the wine aided weight loss. Dr Ditschuneit reported that moderate wine consumption also had no detrimental effects on the liver or a person's health.
