A recent medical revealed that my blood pressure was lower than it was five years ago, a mind-blowing fact since food and wine are firm fixtures of my days. In Italy the official advice on weekly alcohol consumption is far more “fluid” than in the UK and US: according to wine magazine Decanter, 21 units per week for women (compared to 14 in the UK and 12.3 in the US) and an astonishing 31.5 for men (14 in the UK, 24.5 US). I’m no foodie angel, but quality over quantity will get me every time, especially when it comes to perfect pairings.
