Chile has some great reds.
Looks yummy  :P

the concha y toro house (where the casillero del diablo is from) is one of the best... they produce very palpable and inexpensive wines... many of them are far superior to Californians at half the price....


i have 4 bottles of that exact wine in my rack right now...

Just eat grapes instead.  Same health benefits without the alcohol (but not as much fun). 

"One of the biggest discoveries in nutritional science is the identification of resveratrol, the active ingredient in red wine. This compound has been shown to dramatically increase the rate at which cells metabolize fat."

"Resveratrol comes from the skin of grapes but since it oxidizes quickly (losing its metabolic effect in the process) fresh grapes and white wine are less effective sources. Red wine is a unique source of resveratrol as it retains the same amount of as was in the grape at the time of fermentation."

I read about this study in MD.  It showed that drinking 450ml (just about 2 cups) of red wine per day caused no increase in abdominal fat or body weight...  Anyway, the benefits of red wine on the circulatory system are well documented and I have started drinking some regularly...

Right now I am having about 375ml per day (half a bottle).... i totally love the obvious relaxing effect, and see very little wrong with this, I mean most of Europe does the same thing....

Anyway, I am wondering if anyone else regularly consumes red wine?  Others have stated that it might speed recovery and boost testosterone levels.

All I know is that it makes the evenings groovy.

  If you're male, anything that contains alcohol can be immediately considered negative, as far as bodybuilding goes. Why? Because it decreases testosterone and increases it's conversion to oestrogens, like estradiol. Red wine has many benefits for average people, but bodybuilders are better advised to skip it altogether. Regards. :)

I agree. Even one alcoholic drink makes me feel tired and dehydrated. Any antioxidant benefit from red wine can be matched with consuming fresh grapes or berries. Plus, wine is for fags. Real men do shots of Bacardi 151.

What beneficial compounds?  Hard to believe grapes become healthier by spoiling. 

It's not "spoiling", it's "fermenting".  Completely different.  And, yes, there are specific, healthy compounds produced in the fermenting process that are not found in grapes.

What's the complete difference between spoiling and fermenting? 

What healthy compounds are produced when fermenting grapes that are no found in unfermented grapes?

 :-\

Red wine catechins are extracted from the skin of red wine grapes. The most active red wine catechin is resveratrol, a compound the grape plant manufactures in the skin of the fruit to deter gray mold. Although red wine catechins are found in purple grape juice and red wine, resveratrol is most abundant in immature grapes (which are more susceptible to mold) and in grapes grown in damp climates, especially on Long Island in New York.

It's been awhile since wine snobbing  ;) but right off the top of my head, Yellow Tail is pretty basic and VERY inexpensive.

Yes I drink Red wine, as a good portuguese (and we have the best red wine in the world "Vinho do Porto" (Oporto Wine))! It has a good relaxing effect and I never see any increase in Bodyfat, different from beer in this case, but it does not boost testosterone. It can unbalance test production at your favour if you are not an athlete, and you have pretty basic test production. What I really find interesting is that it reduces muscle soreness in a 24 hours period. I've read some studies about this, some say that it can reduce inflammation due to trainning erosion, and others say that it acts mostly on the nervous central system! Every weekend I drink 1500 ml!
