Red wine claims to be almost a cure all and all around health drink despite the alcohol as long as taken in moderation, meaning 8 oz or less per day. Followed closely by moderate beer drinking. http://archinte.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/full/159/16/1865   Red wines have resveratrol, flavonoids, phenols, and polyphenols. Not all wine grapes have significant amounts of health substances. Vitis vinifera, labrusca, and muscadine grapes are better than other types. Drier and dark wines have the most protection. Sweeter, lighter colored wine have the lowest end of health protection. But, some wines are not natural and may have heavy metals. Those wines would not be a health tonic.

Grape juice can be an equal source of the same health benefits as long as it is no sugar added and bottled at the winery in glass to seal it away from oxygen. Wine also oxidizes quickly. Like wine the darker grapes have higher levels of health properties. Unlike wine, you don't have to worry about alcohol. You don't have to worry about driving a motor vehicle after drinking grape juice. Dark grape juices health benefits start at 10 to 12 ounces, lasts for up to 6 hours (which is longer than wine) and the benefits are cumulative when drank daily.
