If you’d like a good night’s sleep tonight – have a glass of wine with dinner.

Not all red wines are created equal...

Some varieties might actually help you get a better night’s sleep. The skin of the red grape is a great source of melatonin, which is released in wine during fermentation. Cabernet and Merlot are two varieties with high levels of the sleep inducing compound. Researchers say having one glass with dinner can trigger your brain to produce even more melatonin right around bed time. Don’t have dinner too late though – drinking too much or too late can actually have the opposite effect.
