Is wine good for you? The answer is, “Yes!” There’s lots of research providing proof that there really are health benefits from drinking wine.
Flavonoids from the skins and seeks of red grapes are the key to wine being good for you. These flavonoids lower your risk of coronary heart disease by reducing your LDL or bad cholesterol levels. At the same time these flavonoids actually increase your HDL or good cholesterol levels and decrease the likelihood of blood clotting.
Scientists believe that there may be other health benefits from red wine. A recent study discovered that an antioxidant in the skins of red grapes, called resveratrol, may inhibit the growth of tumors in some cancers. It’s possible that resveratrol can help treat Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s as well and new studies are on the way.
Are some wines better for you than others? Again, the answer is, “Yes!” Researchers at University of California at Davis have concluded that full-bodied dry red wines contain the highest levels of flavonoids and provide the greatest benefits. The number one wine for supplying the most flavonoids is Cabernet Sauvignon with Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir also ranking highly. Sweeter wines and white wines have less flavonoids and are less beneficial.
How much should you drink? Moderation is the key. Women should drink 4 ounces of red wine daily with a meal and men 4-8 ounces.
Pour yourself a glass of red wine and drink to your health. Cheers!

Purple grape juice can give the benefits without the intoxicating effects, as grape juice contains more resveratrol, a supposed cholesterol lowering substance, than most red wine. Grape juice improves the function of the cells in blood vessel linings more efficiently than wine.

red wine is healthy because it contains antioxidents, and something called reservertol that has been know to lower cholesterol. This is also found in grape juice, but grape juice has a lot of sugar in it.

anti-oxidants...Some researchers have suggested that the benefit may be due to wine, especially red wine. Others are examining the potential benefits of components in red wine such as flavonoids (FLAV'oh-noidz) and other antioxidants (an"tih-OK'sih-dants) in reducing heart disease risk. Some of these components may be found in other foods such as grapes

usually a regimen of exercise, lots of sleep, eating well, avoiding tobacco, having a nonstressful job, remaining single and avoiding criminal activities makes wine healthy
sometimes wine wants to rebel and has to learn the hard way though

i think it helps circulation. when i was a kid, a friend of mine had a great grandmother who was put on wine by her doctor. she drank a small shot glass full every night before she went to bed. it probably helped her sleep to. if i remember correctly, she was 96 back then. she also had heart problems.

Polyphenol mainly in red wines, but recently in some whites too.
It helps reduce cholesterol in your blood.

I think it has something to do with the alcohol thinning the blood and reducing the "plaque" buildup in the arteries, which is why they say it's good for heart disease.
