How would it substitute for red wine if the grapes haven't fermented?

Apparently the health effects (regarding LDL reduction, etc.) are found in the skin. That's what I meant.

I don't but i have read a study where they suggest that drinking red gfrape juice/eating the skin and seeds of red grapes have the same benefits as drinking red wine but without the alcohol.

I gotta go with Show on this one. Make it white; make it cold; and make it a big glass. Boxed is fine. I'll leave the 'expensive wine' for others.   :)

A glass of wine once a year is too much?

Really?  You feel ill after one glass?  Maybe try a white wine.  I don't think they are nearly as "harsh" on the stomach for people not used to drinking very much.

there is no substitute for a fine heavy red wine, it's unfortunate that you feel ill on alcohol

X2.

Not only that, but the alcohol helps preserve and "emulsify" the reservatrol.... research it.  heavy red wine > "MonaVie" and all these shitty juices...

best wine for health = bordeaux and portugese unfiltered wines..

Where would you rank a nice port or a Boone's Farm Strawberry Fields on that list Alex?

I was asking myself the same question regarding port ;D... not sure what the extra fermentation / sugar would break / help.

I want to believe that it is good or even "better" ;D

But if the health benefits are identical, does it matter?
