There is a lot of argument on this subject. the first thing that we should remember is that there are more then 100 different forms of arthritis which are the result of different conditions in the body. every thing from wear and tear to chemical buildups such as gout (which is affected adversely by alcohol consumption) to auto immune system problems. However there are many sufferer of arthritis that will swear on a stack of bibles that wines, especially red wines make arthritis symptoms appear worse. So it stands to reason that there may be something in the claim that wine is bad for arthritis. At present aside from gout, there is no real evidence that arthritis is affected by wine one way or the other. I have Rheumatoid arthritis and once thought that wine was bad for arthritis, however these days I drink wine within reason and have no more or less problems then I had when I was not drinking it. It may very well be a case of different reactions apply to different people. I personally think that an over simplistic connection between wine and arthritis was made because wine is acidic and people know that bones are made of calcium. acid eats away calcium, so it stands to reason that wine causes damage to joints. What they forget is that cartilage is not made of calcium and that the initial cause for the symptoms of arthritis is damaged or worn cartilage.
It will not taste good or be unpleasant.
There are many good wine shops in the New York are, but the best may be based on personal preference. For value, many local wine shops will order your personal favorite wine, and ship for free. Unfortunately, if you have a bad taste for wine, you will also have a bad time at a local wine shop.

The ancient Greeks (and some modern ones) made wine because they didn't have potable water. Without understanding the reason why, they made the connection between bad health and bad water, and good health and wine.
It does nothing in relation to arthritis
I doubt it, In any case there is no medical evidence that diet has any effect on arthritis, aside from gouty arthritis.
