There were inconsistent results with respect to the correlation between consumption of wine and the development of colorectal cancer ( CRC). We carried out a meta- analysis to investigate this issue. We included observational studies on the aforementioned relationship according to a literature search of Embase and Pubmed from inception till 28 February 2017. The summary relative risk ( SRR) and 95% confidence intervals ( CI) were calculated using a random- effects model. A total of eight case- control and nine cohort studies were identified, involving 12 110 CRC cases. The study showed that wine drinking was not associated with any greater risk for CRC ( SRR= 0.99, 95% CI: 0.89- 1.10; P-heterogeneity< 0.001) compared with nondrinkers. The subgroup analyses indicated that null associations were observed in men and women for colon and rectal cancer. Neither light to moderate (< 2 drinks/ day; SRR= 0.93, 95% CI: 0.80- 1.08, I-2 = 69.2%) nor heavy (>= 2 drinks/ day; SRR= 1.00, 95% CI: 0.86- 1.16, I-2 = 39.9%) consumption of wine was associated statistically with CRC risk. This meta- analysis suggests that any wine consumption was not associated with the risk of CRC. Null associations were shown in men and women for colon and rectal cancer.
