Wine & Fertility: What to Know

As someone married to a European from a wine region, I appreciate the occasional glass of wine alongside a weekend picnic. But when you’re trying to conceive, there are two things worth considering: alcohol itself and the potential pesticide residues in your wine. Abstaining from alcohol is the safest approach when trying to conceive, particularly because you may become pregnant before you know it. If you do choose to drink, the quality and production methods of your wine are worth paying attention to.
