It is indeed ironic that intoxicating liquor may provide health benefits, but studies showed that the wine has a great amount of resveratrol – a type of antioxidant found in red grape skins. In the case of red wine, grape skins containing resveratrol are fermented from grapes.
Extensive research on the effects of resveratrol was achieved and, more often than not, the results were promising. Studies were made on worms, flies, fish and mice, and a correlation between the resveratrol and anti-aging has been created. Initial results show that the chemical compound may have both an anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory. Currently, resveratrol is also studied to see if it has the potential to fight against diabetes, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
So there is no reason to be afraid of moderate consumption of red wine. Benefits can be obtained by drinking a glass, about five ounces per day for women and one or two drinks per day for men.

As with most things, moderation is key. As long as you take the wine in small quantities you can toast your way to a long life and good health.
