During last ten years or so, especially after we discovered Charles Shaw Cabernet Sauvignon, a glass of wine at dinner time has become pretty routine for my wife and I. Yeah, there are days we try other wines like L'Authentique or Les Portes de Bordeaux, but we also drink plain water as well (no carbonated beverages and no fruit juices unless they are squeezed at home by us). Our typical dinner time is some time between 6 and 7 PM. Turns out that this is the perfect time to drink alcohol because it is several hours before our 10 PM bed time. A recent study has found that nightcaps might make you pass out and go to sleep but then you don't sleep so well. You don't get what is known as the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
