The next time you think about celebrating by ordering a nice bottle of French wine, you might want to remember this. Researchers just found that your lovely glass of Bordeaux is probably infused with hormone-disrupting phthalates.
Their study tested the concentrations of various phthalates in French wines and grape spirits marketed in Europe or intended for export. Overall they found that 83% of the samples tested contained phthalates at some level. 100% of the spirits analyzed contained at least one type of phthalates.
