Wine and Health

Foster's is deeply committed to promoting responsible consumption.
 
While Foster's does not provide medical advice, nor attempt to advise individuals on important and complex medical issues, the Company is committed to ensuring that consumers access the best available information regarding alcohol and their health.

As responsibility for the health of an individual ultimately and properly resides with the individual, individuals in all cases should consult a qualified medical practitioner who is familiar with that individual's medical history and can provide tailored, expert advice in order to help them make informed decisions about alcohol consumption. If an individual is in any doubt about the effect of alcohol on their health, then they should avoid alcohol altogether.

National health organisations, medical research groups and industry bodies provide information on a range of health issues in relation to wine. The following links may be helpful:
