Why is wine good with food?

When consumed with a meal, blood-alcohol concentrations don't rise as quickly or get as high. Drinking with food in your belly also lightens the load on your liver. When alcohol stays in the stomach, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)—an enzyme that exists in both the stomach lining and the liver—can begin metabolizing it.
