In October 2023, Streetcar regular Jeffrey S. Wojtowicz published a survey of 74 research studies conducted from 1987-2023 entitled, "Long-Term Health Outcomes of Regular, Moderate Red Wine Consumption". His survey "is not intended to encourage red wine consumption for health outcomes but rather to avoid discouraging moderate red wine consumption based on misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the red wine data due to the reporting of pooled data across all types of alcohol."

In fact, his survey found that "a beneficial effect of moderate red wine consumption was consistently seen for mortality and dementia," along with certain cancers and cardiovascular conditions.

With the recent barrage of alarmist, neo-prohibitionist messaging from The New York Times, we feel the need to respond. Though we acknowledge the well-established risks associated with excessive or binge drinking, the demonization of moderate alcohol consumption based on flawed studies with data lacking depth and transparency is unreasonable. Clearly we are biased, and we are not medical professionals. We want our customers to lead long and healthy lives. Our hopes are to encourage critical thinking on this subject; and to continue to offer the conscientiously-produced, provocative, life-affirming, community-building wines and beers for many years to come.
