Rose and Resveratrol

The most important benefit coming from wine is the resveratrol, which is found in the skin of the grape. Red wines have the highest level of the antioxidant resveratrol as they are fermented with the skins. When compared to red wine, rose and white wines have lower level of resveratrol because the winemakers strain the skins from the grape immediately or early in the production process. However, some rose wines that are a blend of red and white wines, contain more resveratrol.

In fact, rose wine contains polyphenols, which can significantly lower bad cholesterol or LDL as well as the blood pressure. The contained anti-inflammatory properties can also reduce the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. However, all benefits coming from rose wine are linked only to moderate consumption.
