Is wine alkaline?

They say that wine is good for the health because it is alkaline.
This is not the the case. Wine, in fact, is acid.
Why, then, is this story so popular? This concerns the definition of "alkaline foods." Alkaline foods, by definition, are foods which contain lots of positive mineral. Wine is classified as alkaline, because it contains potassium, one of the positive minerals.
The reason why alkaline foods are not necessarily good for the health is as follows; That "alkaline foods neutralize the acid level of your body" is not the case. Our body will not become acid nor alkaline due to homeostatis.
