I have never had Balkan wines. Italian, French, Chilean, wines from the West Coast (California/Oregon/Washington), but not Balkan. I will try it when I come across it. We have a lot Chilean wines here, and, obviously, Californian, too. I also like white wine with white fish, but I have not organized myself enough to cook fish at home. I have a freezer full of fillets, so eventually I will get there.

What I do not like about the easy-breezy selbstverstaendlich "avoid alcohol" attitude in the article is the assumption that bp people should suffer and restrict themselves more than normal people in order to remain stable. It is punitive, and I do not like it. Same with caffeine - it is an individual decision, not "let's all abstain from caffeine". I drink caffeine in moderation and am perfectly stable. Moreover, it is good for me: a little boost for my low blood pressure is welcome, and the antioxidants in coffee and tea are good, too. Plus, multiple other benefits from green tea specifically. And I would never be able to drink so much liquid if not for teas, and being hydrated is paramount. So a blanket "avoid caffeine" pronouncement, if followed by everyone, would result in a great many people abstaining from caffeine without absolutely any reason. And that's BAD because caffeine is part of the social fabric. We catch up with old friends over coffee. We give chocolate that contains a little caffeine as gifts. Why should a bp person be deprived of that?
