Wine

[Zinner]

None of the research I've seen shows grape juice to be anywhere similar to wine in the amount of resveratrol and other healthy substances. For the most part people would have to drink more grape juice than they'd be willing to glug to get the same benefit. In wine, it's in much more concentrated form.

Plus for quite a number of years, researchers I've talked with say that the alcohol itself (in small amounts, of course) contributes to the health benefits. Lately I've begun to hear some reports about this on TV too, so apparently that news is getting out to the general population.

I think the wine industry is trying to come up with some products for people who like sweet tastes. There's one recent one called Rio Dulce which bills itself as "sweet red wine." Looks more like a dark rose to me. And the release recommended that folks might make sangria out of it. If I could find the release, I'd post the recipe.

But perhaps a wine drink such as sangria might be the way to go for someone who doesn't care for the taste of red wine.
