WHITE wine could soon be as good for your heart as red wine. The benefits of
red wine are largely due to potent antioxidants called polyphenols. These exist
mostly in the skins of grapes, which are not used in white wines. To boost the
antioxidant levels of white wine, Michael Aviram of the Technion-Israel
Institute of Technology in Haifa squashed grapes and stored them in ethanol
before removing their skins. The alcohol extracts the polyphenols giving the
white wine an antioxidising activity similar to red wine (to appear in
the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry). 鈥淭his is great news for white
wine lovers,鈥� he says.
