Yes, red wine contains more antioxidants than white wine because it is fermented with the skins. White wine also has these positive qualities, but not as much as red win. Personally I am a big fan of white. Check out the link for a more detailed study.

Red wine

Most certainly. The heart healthy properties of Red wine are due to the grapes used. White wine doesn't have them. Also the anti-oxidants in red wine have cancer fighting properties. Plus red wine tastes so much better than white.
Cheers!

Red wine is a particularly rich source of antioxidants flavonoid phenolics, so many studies to uncover a cause for red wine's effects have focused on its phenolic constituents, particularly resveratrol and the flavonoids. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, increases HDL cholesterol and prevent blood clotting. Flavonoids, on the other hand, exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries.
So yes Red is better than White

Red wine is better for the above mentioned reasons. one glass is the key so they say for being healthy.... I would suggest however a really really big glass. White wine is basically useless except for cooking.

I have heard that red wine has more antioxidants but that red wine will be more of a downer than white wine.

This is what my doctor told me: One glass of red wine at night is good for you because of the antioxidants and flavonoids it contains (reduces blood pressure, helps cholesterol levels, helps protect against certain cancers). Apparently white wine doesn't have the flavonoids and doesn't have nearly as many antoxidants, so red wine is preferred. He told me to keep it at one glass per night though -- no more than that.

Yes it has anitoxidants that are good for you but it also contains histamines which effect your sinuses. So if you have allergies red wine will help stuff up your nose. I like a good Merlot that is my favorite.
