"....with my apologies to the winos on this thread...could the same be achieved by drinking grape juice ? Good question, that's why they keep studying....."

Polyphenols are a result of alcoholic fermentation. They aren't there as much before fermentation. In fact, phenols and polyphenols contribute a lot to a good red wine's structure and complexity.

My first guess would be that fresh grape juice will not get the same result.

I concur in spite of current advertising campaigns.

However the potato chips being consumed while surfing FR is more delightful than a natural laxative as in grape juice.

Nature can be cruel.
