    Yes, that is how I have always seen it.

    I first saw a reference to it in a magazine article back in ‘95 or ‘96 about my favorite wine, Valpolicella Recioto.

  2. 2 Sparky

    Yes it is. Check it out on Wikipedia.

    Yup.

    Yes.
    resveratrol

    Resveratrol is a substance that is produced by several plants and that is sold as a nutritional supplement. A number of beneficial health effects, such as anti-cancer, anti-viral, neuroprotective, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and life-prolonging effects have been reported. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and as a constituent of red wine may explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.
