Extrait : « Certain types of red wine — specifically, red wines that improve with age, such as French Bordeaux, premium cabernet sauvignon, petite sirah, malbec, and pinot noir — have higher concentrations of resveratrol than others. And grapes grown in cooler climates have higher levels than those from warmer climes. 
Most health professionals recommend « moderate » consumption of wine for patients who drink wine. What constitutes moderate drinking varies from culture to culture, but in the United States it’s usually defined as about two 4-ounce glasses a day for men and one glass for women. Women need to watch their intake, however, because alcohol consumption may slightly increase their risk of breast cancer. 
One potentially potent and delicious source of resveratrol is wine made from the thick-skinned malbec grape. Malbec yields wines that are dense, inky and somewhat rustic. In Bordeaux, small amounts are used as a blending grape to add color and tannin to cabernet sauvignon and merlot. In France’s Cahors region, malbec is bottled on its own and is known as « the black wine. » The grape was exported to South America in the 19th century and is now the most widely planted grape in Argentina. »Â
