Question: Wine health benefits?

(Posted by: paengc on 2008-04-08 07:35:56)

Is it just limited to expensive brands? or are four- dollar- a- bottle brands of wine just as good in terms of antioxidants and reducing heart disease and the like?

Red wine tends to be more effective than white but price is not at issue. The alcohol in the wine DOES play a part in the equation however. In fact, studies have shown that drinking in moderation (of any alcohol) have a positive impact on reducing heart disease. Contrary to an above poster, Grape Juice does not have the same benefits because it does not contain alcohol.

You get the same amount of antioxidants from a glass of grape juice. so it doesn't matter the quality as long as it's real wine. not mad dog, ect.

They are talking 1- 6oz. glass of rich red wine such as chianti, but you don't have to spend lots of money, you can get it pretty cheap, also it doesn't taste good.
