Entry for June 25, 2008- Great News for White Wine Lovers!
We keep hearing about all the health benefits of red wine  but what about all those white only drinkers out there? Well, some good news now. Israelis scientists have created a white wine with increased polyphenols - the chemicals that are proven to fight heart disease. The process to do this does not change any of the wine's aromas, taste or color but increases the polyphenols by six times. It's an incubation process where the squeezed grapes are in contact with the alcohol and skins for about 18 hours. One Israeli wine producer is already using this technique and those wines will be in stores by the end of the year.
