Of wine and running: Whether you enjoy it over a meal or it’s your tipple of choice when, uhm, reveling, novice and intermediate connoisseurs of wine — oenophiles to the cognoscenti — will learn something from the New York Times’ “How to drink wine.” The long feature is divided into multiple sections, covering everything from fundamental types of wine to how to shop for it, how to order it at a restaurant, how to open a bottle and what wine goes best with which foods.

Then, while you’re on the Times’ site and before you refill your wineglass (you’re using one with a stem, not one of those useless and pretentious stemless glasses, right?), go read Gretchen Reynold’s “An Hour of Running May Add 7 Hours to Your Life.” Why should you lace up? A new study “found that, compared to nonrunners, runners tended to live about three additional years, even if they run slowly or sporadically and smoke, drink or are overweight. No other form of exercise that researchers looked at showed comparable impacts on life span.”
