Wine and fertility
Found this on the Pacific Fertility Centers website:
For this study, the researcher set out to take a closer look at specific types of alcohol consumed by the 29,844 pregnant women who had participated in the first survey. Researchers discovered that wine drinkers had a nearly 30 percent greater chance than nondrinkers of getting pregnant within one year of trying. Woman who exclusively drank wine became pregnant sooner than those that drank only beer or hard liquor (spirits). Interestingly, drinking all three types of alcohol was associated with the shortest time to pregnancy.
Ms. Juhl is cautious to point out that it may not be wine consumption per se, causing the increase or decrease in pregnancy success, but rather other lifestyle influences that may go along with wine drinking. For instance, some oenophiles enjoy healthier food than nondrinkers and beer or liquor drinkers. They also are more likely to be of average weight, and practice healthier lifestyle habits. The wine drinkers were less likely to smoke; smoking has been shown to prolong time to conception. Other confounding factors such as caffeine consumption, partner’s age and frequency of intercourse were not evaluated. She cautioned against drinking alcohol specifically to try to conceive, since this benefit was quite mild.
Have your glass of wine tonight ladies, it may help :))

I'm not really a drinker, but hey if it ups the chances, I'll lift my glass to all of my new found friends.
Thats interesting. I almost never drink anything except wine..definately no beer. I hate the stuff. Hmmm, perhaps I'll open a bottle of wine tonight!!
