What kinds of red wine have the highest antioxidants?

I'm aware that it is not a good idea to start drinking solely for the antioxidants, but I also know that if you do drink wine, it is better to go for red as opposed to white. I already drink moderate amounts of beer and some liquor, but I am starting to take a liking to wine, being a professional and all. What kinds of red have the most antioxidants?|||Vaya,





The substance in wine that has antioxidant properties is called resveratrol. Studies have shown that the wines that come from a cooler regions have the most amount of beneficial resveratrol. Variety include malbec, petite sirah, st. laurent and pinot noir. Combination of dark grape paired with thick skin is the key. Any Merlot is a winner, domestic comes from Washington State. French wine comes from Bordeaux region, and is more expensive. Of course wine is most beneficial when drank in moderation, too much will cause the alcohol to go againts resveratrol.
