So if you want a more potent dose of resveratrol, wine, in moderation, or a juice is a way to go. My reservation at juice as a phytonutrient source is that you may be getting a large dose of sugar in addition to the heart healthy flavanoids. However, if you'd like some fiber, then the fresh stuff is a great alternative, or first choice, depending on your preference.

As for me, I occasionally like a deep dark red shiraz or something similar. To me, the dryer, the better!

Okay I'm too lazy to do the research myself...is this the science behind cherry juice being an anti-inflammatory? Yes...I'm getting ready to order barrels of cherry juice to see if it works on the tendonitis. But hey, if red wine will work...why not.

My vote is for a merlot...my favorite wine is actually a mix: Menage a Trois. One glass and I'm out like a light. I'm a lightweight. Drinking that is. Not scale wise. SiGh....
