Statistical research has shown that wines with a lesser alcohol content have a greater chance of reducing certain cancers than the ones with the present level of alcohol. A report based on statistical research which shows proof of cancer with the consumption of alcohol suggests that women should not consume more than one drink in 24 hours and men should limit their drink intake to two.

Studies have shown that lowering the content of alcohol by just 4% in wine can lower the risk of getting bowel cancer by at least 7%. Lowering alcohol content will also reduce the risk of other cancers which are connected with alcohol, like esophageal, breast and throat cancers. Many people enjoy a drink and it has become a part of social custom and hence there is a need to lower the alcohol content in wines and beer, so that correspondingly the risk of cancer is also reduced. Many consumers now are also demanding that more, weaker wines and beer be available in the market. Many people find that they enjoy a weaker wine as much as the stronger varieties and therefore there will be a good demand for the weaker wines.
