as said above red wine does contain anti oxidants or flavinoids. and also as said above there are other sources that have more than red wine.
furthermore the alcohol component isn't cancelled out just because of flavinoids. in fact he healthiest way to drink red wine is sip it all day long - thats right one small glass over 18 hours every 15 minutes. i'm guessing that 2ml each time. this way the blood pressure lowering effects of alcohol - mostly from making you pee i imagine - are delivered constantly and not in a whack for an hour and then nothing for the rest of the day.
not really practical i'd imagine.
the only reason red wine gets publicity about being healthy is because there's lots of money in it, and the negative effects are ignored - good advertising!

Well, not necessarily, red wine has antioxidants which fight off free radicals which is wonderful for us all, but lifespan is determined by many factors, general overall health, genetic predispositions, lifestyle, and how someone eats drinks or exercises on a regular basis. All in all, drinking one glass of wine per day does reap health benifits, so go for it as long as you don't suffer from an alcohol problem in any way!

A few units a week (a small glass is one unit) is said to be beneficial as it contains anti oxidants which help heart health and also the effect of the alcohol relaxed blood vessels lowering blood pressure slightly.

Red wine has antioxidants, which are good for your heart, but it won't necessarily help you live longer. You can get antioxidants from many other (probably better) sources.
