Interesting, perhaps some of the guidelines have been revised down in recent years. I distinctly remember both France and Italy having higher recommended daily limits and the only explanations I could find were that wine was part of the culture and thus the governments were reluctant to recommend substantially less than what people were actually drinking in practice.

"No more than 10 glass a week, with no more than two glass a day."
A glass = 10g alcohol, so 14g/day.
The web site also say there is no alcohol consumption without risk.
