Most of the helpful antioxidants are found in the skin, seeds, and stems. The redder the wine, the more time spent exposed to the skin (and consequently the seeds and stems) after the crush. Thus, the higher the antioxidants, try cab, merlot, shiraz descending with pinot, blush, and white.

Pinot Noir is a good source of resveratrol, which according to the JAMA, has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antithrobatic propeties (prevents blood clots from being formed within blood vessels in the heart). Resveratrol is found in phytoalexins “any of a class of plant compounds that accumulate at the site of invading microorganisms and confer resistance to disease” (Random House Dictionary). It is also one reason that the medical profession believes people in France have lower cardiac problems, despite eating a lot of rich and fatty foods.
