The Claim
A glass of red wine helps protect against radiation on flights.
MOSTLY BS — Verdict: Mostly False
A glass of red wine is not an established way to protect against flight radiation. No supplied study tests that benefit in airline passengers. A preliminary human experiment found reduced laboratory-induced DNA damage after de-alcoholized wine consumption, while alcohol tended to increase damage and whole wine showed protection only relative to alcohol. The claim turns limited findings about wine constituents into an unsupported practical benefit from drinking wine on flights.
