(Herald) - Q I like drinking white wine with my dinner in the evenings. It helps me relax and I've heard that having wine with meals is actually good for you. Is this true and does it matter that it's white I drink, not red? A Red wine is made with the skin of the grape and so contains more of certain antioxidants than white. White wine is made after the skins are removed. One powerful antioxidant in red wine, resveratrol, may help prevent cancer and protect the heart by blocking damage from free radicals and reducing inflammation. So in essence, there are more health benefits to be found in drinking red wine.
