videoThe problem with internet health gurus 🍷
What questions does this video answer? Why are internet health gurus and neo-prohibitionists so exhausting? What is the problem with 45-day sober challenges? How should consumers balance health kicks with drinking wine? Does choosing not to drink mean you have to preach about it? About This Video: Certified Italian Wine Ambassador Greg Martellotto shares his raw take on the rise of "born-again" internet health gurus and street-corner evangelists preaching the zero-alcohol lifestyle. While choosing not to drink is a perfectly valid personal health choice, the neo-prohibitionist trend of completing a 45-day sober challenge and suddenly preaching to the world has become exhausting. Greg explains that if you want a health kick, the answer is simple: drink less. But when you do choose to drink, make sure it is authentic, real wine.
