Women who drink red wine get frisky more often than those who drink other types of alcohol or don't drink at all, reports a study in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Nearly 800 women were surveyed about their drinking habits and their degree of arousal as well as their ability to lubricate and orgasm.
Study authors found that those who drank up to two glasses of red vino a day had overall higher sexual function scores than all other women, and significantly higher rates of arousal and lubrication.
Whether women who reach for the red stuff are innate sex kittens or certain compounds in the wine naturally boost libido is unknown.
