Aussie Doc Creates World's Healthiest Wine

Well documented are our previous accounts of the benefits of resveratrol.

An Australian doctor says he has created the world's healthiest wine, which cleans your blood vessels and reduces the risk of heart attack as you drink it.
 
Each bottle contained up to 100 times the amount of resveratrol - a naturally occurring anti-oxidant found in grapes - than a standard drop, says Sydney's Dr Philip Norrie.
 
Resveratrol helped to maintain blood flow by keeping arteries free of fatty deposits called atherosclerotic plaque, Dr Norrie said. A wine infused with high levels of the odourless, tasteless anti-oxidant would act as a "vascular pipe-cleaner".
 
"While the positive effects of moderate wine consumption have long been documented, the inclusion of such large quantities of this beneficial anti-oxidant is very good news for wine drinkers," says Dr Norrie.
 
"What we've been able to do is boost the amount of resveratrol in wine and you won't even know its there ... you're effectively clearing your arteries while you drink."
 
Dr Norrie said he is producing both a Chardonnay and a Shiraz and each have 100mg/L of resveratrol per bottle.
