I sampled several very delicious Greek red wines last night. I'd never had Greek wine before -- but this stuff was quite excellent. If it helps me live longer, so much the better. But just to drink the wine is good, too. ;-)

"... Sinclair noted that red wines from regions with harsher growing conditions -- Spain, Chile, Argentina and Australia -- contain more resveratrol than those produced where grapes are not highly stressed or dehydrated."

Rioja is good....and good for you!

To illustrate that theory, Sinclair noted that red wines from regions with harsher growing conditions -- Spain, Chile, Argentina and Australia -- contain more resveratrol than those produced where grapes are not highly stressed or dehydrated.

Yet another reason to abandon French W(h)ine.

They already have it in pill form, but I think the wine route would be more fun. };O)

I think I shall go to the wine store and enthusiastically buy a case tomorrow. Nothing French, though.

Researchers said on Sunday that one of the molecules, a compound known as resveratrol, was shown in a study to extend the life span of yeast cells by up to 80 percent. Resveratrol exists naturally in grapes and red wine.

Can you safely share this kind of information with students? ;-)

I had a friend who was in terrific health and died suddenly at age 90. She still worked, bowled regularly, and lived alone and was as sharp as a tack.

I once asked her what her secret was, and she said, "I have one glass of red wine every night before bed."

Do you mean instead of having a drinking problem, I'm just another health nut? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

So.... if this resveratrol is present in red wine, and in red grapes - why can't we just drink red grape juice?? How about grape jelly?? If it's also in peanuts, is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich the ultimate health food?? Was the study paid for by the wine industry or somethin'.

Based on my red wine consumption, I should live at least to the year 2387.

There are other stories on this subject. One says New york reds do a better job of keeping you alive. I like the ones which make me happy.
