People who drink red wine are better in bed, according to science

It’s no secret drinking wine has been proven to boost your overall happiness. But now, according to scientists, drinking it makes you better in bed too.

According to a study by Italian researchers, a couple of glasses of red wine everyday actually causes your sex drive to rocket.

It’s because red wine is full of quercetin, a type of flavanol, which increases your libido and the production of testosterone, a little injection of masculine hormones that can really escalate your desire to have sex.

It’s not just men that can be thankful for this kinky news though: red wine heightens the blood flow to a woman’s “erogenous zones”, making her super aroused.

So there you go. When you’re trying to amp up your sex life, look no further than the wine cupboard, the answer to all your troubles. If you want to take your sex life to the next level (and, I mean, who doesn’t?) then get your priorities straight and start drinking red wine ASAP.

Not all wines work the same on both men and women though. Women are apparently aroused by musky, earthy, woody, liquoricey, and cherry aromas, whereas research shows men get off to wines with lavender, caramel, butter, orange, liquorice, baking spice, and vanilla aromas.

Next time you feel like Netflix and chilling, you know what needs to be on the menu.
