This isn't really a surprise considering it's been known for quite some time that red wine is actually good for you, in moderate portions.

a 150-lb person would need to drink 750 to 1,500 bottles of red wine a day to get such a dose.
I have the Franzia truck making a delivery of fresh boxes of wine tomorrow. Anybody feel like getting healthy with me?

You know people always jump to say "Hey. wine is good for you drink up!".
And that's the way it's reported. Isn't it possible the truth is merely " Hey, grapes are good for
you, eat up!"
Paragraph 13 from the Nature article: Resveratrol, produced when plants are under stress, is found in the skin of grapes and in other plants, including peanuts and some berries.
If Cowpies achieved the same results, I don't believe people would jump on the bandwagon so quickly:)

Good note on the availability of Resveratrol from other sources.
