Size zero and wine

Ever since the bug to be fashionably size zero has bitten the fairer sex from the Indian subcontinent– thanks to the filmi models who helped spew the craze through gossip magazines – I think the revelation that wine drinking can actually help attain this widely deceptive target has been received with loud applause. Not just the younger lot (they never grow old as we all know, and never dispute), but the next door aunties too are now likely to be seen shopping their wines.

Though Catherine Collins, dietician and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, who went public with the wine and weight loss news this past week said: "It would be a mistake to think that drinking alcohol helps you lose weight," but the fact that the study was conducted over a period of 13 years and the sample size included well over 19000 women, it would be difficult for anyone to keep the relation between wine and weight loss disassociated.

So, without any further delay, join me in welcoming the fairer gang to the world of wines. Cheers!
