What are the health benefits of drinking a very good glass of red wine?
Please refrain from answers involving one’s intoxication. Does drinking a good quality wine make one breathe better? Does a "good red wine" benefit the heart?

Though we keep hearing that wine is good for you, it is important to question the claim of alcohol increasing a woman’s risk for breast cancer. Well, only if you are a woman I guess.
Healthy on red wine is not the quality and price. It is the colour. (The red colour has the antioxigens.) But green tea has the same effect. 2 g of alcohol a day is good for your heart too, that is less than a shot of red wine !!! If you drink for your health, have a shot of red wine (20 ml) a day and then drink green tea !!!

I think any red wine, preferrably a moderately priced one and up will provide some health benefits. The compound called Reservatrol is in red wine which is derived from the grape skins. It reportedly will make one’s platelets in the blood less sticky, thus preventing clotting and (reportedly)reducing heart related illnesses. Check the Wine Spectator magazine, they are always running stories on the benefits of drinking wine.
