Pinot Noir has been shown to contain the most anti-oxidants.
There are some great Oregon Pinot Noirs. Or try Tohu Marlborough Pinot Noir, excellent rich smooth full Pinot Noir.

All red wines have beneficial anti oxidants - the trick is finding low cost tasty ones. If you live in California it's much simpler but other places can prove a challenge due to taxes and trade tariffs. There is even a new study that gives promise to people having trouble with weight loss due to thyroid - 1 glass of red wine may lower your cholesterol and increase your metabolism - the health benefits of wine are still being looked into but it is important to remember moderation- OK off the soap box - good cheap wine - Barefoot, Redwood Creek, Mondovi, Fetzer, Trinchero, Talus - there ore others but this is a good start. Chianti is great too and usually on the lower end of the cost scale. A good way to try several is to host a wine tasting have everyone bring 1 bottle under $10 and set out chips, dips, crackers, cheeses, meats, breads and flavored butters, also have sparkling and still water on hand (I put slices of cucumber or lemon in the still water for pallet cleansing). Have every one try some from each bottle one at a time and comment - it is great fun and a good mixer for the holiday. Good Luck!

Any heavy red wine will do. There are some good Cabernet's out there, which I'm partial to. I'm a Pinot Noir fan more than anything however, those can get pricey. On a budget I recommend a Beringer or Sutter Home Cabernet or Merlot.

Well first of all if you're drinking wine you shouldn't be too concerned about health. Ive found a great South Eastern Australian wine, its call Koonunga Hill and its from the Penfolds winery. Very good and cheap as well.

I just had a 2004 Estancia Cabernet last night. For the money, it was fantastic. I was very pleasantly surprised. Very full bodied, but smooth, with relatively soft tannins.
