What is a "molecule" of red wine?

Well, to be sarcastic, if you'd read the article, you'd know that they were referring to "a molecule of red wine" not as someone would refer to "a molecule of gold" but as "one of the chemical constituents of red wine," the writer assuming the reader would already know that something like red wine is compound, not elemental, in its composition

Well, to be sarcastic, if you'd read the article, you'd know that they were referring to "a molecule of red wine" not as someone would refer to "a molecule of gold" but as "one of the chemical constituents of red wine," the writer assuming the reader would already know that something like red wine is compound, not elemental, in its composition.

Well, sorry again, but red wine isn't a compound in the chemical sense but a heterogeneous combination of compounds such as water, alcohol, tannic acid and a whole host of other substances. In short, there's no such thing as a "molecule of red wine," just as there's no such thing as a molecule of chocolate syrup or a molecule of air.
