Jake, I've been saying that here for years. However, this isn't a great paper: it's an association, not a causation, and drinking a few glasses of wine usually is associated with a certain level of affluence and lifestyle that itself goes along with quality of life. The paper doesn't match your disclaimers ;-) but it is making a bigger deal than it should about an association.
If you say "red" wine and 1-2 glasses/day, then I think there is more than just an association with cardiac disease which is *the* striker-down of men and now women in the US. But not everybody agrees about that, either- e.g. there are papers saying that there's an increased risk of breast cancer in red-wine-drinking women and other papers claiming red wine has nothing to do with it. Needless to say, with my lay interest in red wine I am expert at noticing papers that suit me while maintaining a portfolio of junk science to shoot down the others. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
