FAQ
What is resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a plant compound that acts like an antioxidant. An natural phenol found in such foods as blueberries, chocolate and as mentioned, most concentrated in grape skins. 

Why red wine is healthier then white wine?
Resveratrol is found within grape skins, because white wine doesn’t use grape skins and red wine relays heavily on grape skins is the difference that puts red wine ahead of the curve in terms of healthier booze options.

DRINK RESPONSIBLY
So its safe to say that red wine does have a large amount of attractive health benefits. However, at the end of the day, what we must remember is red wine is still an alcoholic beverage. Which in its self, also boasts an array of health issues. Its one thing to say having resveratrol every day is going to go along way to making you healthy, its another thing to say drinking red wine everyday will make you healthy.

The fact is that a bottle of red wine may have around 1-3mg of resveratrol. To really feel these benefits you would have to drink more then a whole bottle of red wine every day for a prolonged period of time. There is a term for people who drink more then a bottle of wine everyday for a prolonged period of time, and that’s a problematic drinker…

It’s all about moderation. Drinking red wine for the health benefits just isn’t going to work. Its best to realise that a small amount of red wine isn’t going to make you lose weight, make your skin glow or help your immunity. But at the same time, a small amount of red wine isn’t going to negatively affect your health. 

Meaning you can still enjoy red wine and live a healthier lifestyle, you could in theory have a bottle of red wine every week and still live an extremely healthier lifestyle. It’s all about finding the balance. 

****If you want to feel the benefits of red wine, take resveratrol supplements like Grooves Oh Grape and leave the red wine for moderately drinking for flavour, not health.
