Red wine = longer life

[anthrax]

The compound that makes red wine a healthful drink may also hold the secret to a longer life, scientists reported on Wednesday.

They found that resveratrol acted on fruit flies and worms in the same way as a method known to extend the life of animals including monkeys - sharply restricting how much they eat.

The finding opens the possibility that people could take a pill to achieve the same benefits as strict dieting to live longer, healthier lives, said David Sinclair of Harvard Medical School in Boston, who led the study.

Looks like I have some grape crushing to do. Only question is who wants to split the price for a 5 gallon batch?

Also need someone to go to pottery wearhouse and grab me a 5 gallon water jug (must be glass), a #6 stopper, some Lalvin Rc-122b yeast and some purified water. (If you don't want to do the destemming by hand, 500 dollars for a machine would be nice )

My pop is 64 years old and he goes to the gym every other day, eats a good diet, and is a short, old, tank. we're italian so we always have red wine at the table. my pop is the youngest of his clan, and all of his siblings died by the age of 56. All my life i've heard him say that a glass of red wine is good for you. he and myself drink about a glass of it every day at meal time. of course he drinks two or three, lol. anyway, i agree with this statement.

Fermentation = even more benefits ie saponins are formed during the fermentation stage of making wine
