There are some supplements out there that say they have the ingredients — namely resveratrol — that make red wine so healthy. Do they work?
The data is really minimal in terms of the effectiveness of resveratrol supplements. The jury is out about whether you get same benefits in a pill that you get with a glass of red wine.
Are any wines better than others?
White wines do not have as many antioxidants as red wines. In terms of reds, it has more to do with the way the grapes are grown than the varieties of wine. Oregon pinot noirs tend to have higher levels of polyphenols and European wines tend to have more polyphenols than American wines, in general.
