Is there anything with me wanting to drink red wine to be abit healthier?

My partner had a go at me, because I said I'd rather drink red wine than beer as it atleast is better for your waistline and better for your heart. But she cut the idea down, told me what's the point and it's still bad. Just keep in mind I'm not a big drinker especially for a male in my 20's, I don't drink excessively but don't mind a cold beer now and then, I thought changing to red wine would be better but just get put down for it lol
