If there’s a wine bottle in your grocery cart, you’re probably buying healthier foods than your fellow shoppers who are buying beer.
So say researchers who peeked at the purchases of Danish grocery shoppers. Their findings:
- People who bought wine bought more olives, fruit, vegetables, poultry, cooking oil, and low-fat cheese, milk, and meat.
- Beer buyers bought more prepared dishes, sugar, cold cuts, chips, pork, butter or margarine, sausages, lamb, and soft drinks.
Which reminds me, Trader Joe’s will be opening in Albuquerque soon — some months before they open a store in New York City.
