My Grandmother has been drinking a glass or two of red wine for as long as I can remember. She just celebrated her 101st birthday.

it would be many years before any drug based on the new findings became available

Leave it to pharmaceutical companies to entice people to forget about enjoying a nice glass of wine and just popping a pill instead.

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

So if its just the skins of the grapes as this fellow is theorizing, why not just eat grapes? Or is it a matter or concentration. Cause I like grapes better than red wine, but I wouldn't be opposed to tiping back a few to add a couple years to my life. People in bibilical times were definitely drinking a lot of grape wine (alchoholic or not), maybe they new some things we don't.

Awright!

Now if I could just remember where I put it.

resveratrol is unstable on exposure to the air and "goes off within a day of popping the cork"

Oh well. Guess I have to drink the whole bottle at once.

Too bad I'm allergic to the sulfites...but perhaps the rest of you would benefit...

I love a glass of red wine at night. This is gonna be so easy to do.

According to the Oxford Companion to Wine, Pinot Noir tends to have high levels of the chemical, while Cabernet Sauvignon has lower levels. "Wines produced in cooler regions or areas with greater disease pressure, such as Burgundy and New York, often have more resveratrol," the book says, whereas wines from drier climates like California or Australia have less.

I'm not a big fan of Pinot Noir. Since the amount of resveratrol in my preferred California Merlot or Australain Shiraz is considerably lower, one must drink a little more to compensate. Sounds like a plan to me.
