There are many health reasons for drinking de-alcoholised wines:

• Heart Disease: In the past decade there have been scores of reports in medical journals around the world detailing the benefits of wine consumption for decreasing heart disease. For instance, a 1994 study by Michael H. Criqui and Brenda L. Ringel, from the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine studied heart disease rates in 21 countries and found that the more wine a country drank, the fewer heart disease deaths it reported.
• Cholesterol: Scientists at the University of California, Davis, have identified a group of chemicals in red wine that is linked to the ability to lower cholesterol. Called saponins, these glucose-based plant compounds are being found in an increasing number of foods. This is the first time they have been found in wine, according to Andrew Waterhouse, Ph.D., Professor of Enology (wine chemistry) at the University of California, Davis.
• Strokes: A 16-year study of 13,000 people in Denmark by Institute of Preventive Medicine has found that a daily glass of wine may significantly reduce the risk of stroke. The researchers noted that those who drank roughly one glass of wine daily -- red or white -- had a 32-percent reduction in their risk of stroke. The same was not true of beer or liquor drinkers.
