In Dr. Arnold Erhets book, he publishes a list by a scientist who went down the acid binding/acid forming path who he agreed with and wine is listed as slightly acid binding. I've come to this conclusion. If you are ALL THE WAY cleaned out, and eat a PERFECT diet, there probably would be no need to cleanse arteries, alimentary canal, ect. Along those lines, because of the perfect diet, you would not need the antioxidants nor the blood building power of wine because you're eating so well. In that case I cannot see any benifit to the wine and the downsides to it would make it useless to me. One reason to enjoy the cleansing ride!!!
