I am one who began drinking red wine (especially Pinot Noir) specifically for the reservatrol content. I have read that it has the highest amount, but would love to have it posted on each bottle since that is the only reason I began drinking wine instead of rum or other liquors. I would like to have the ability to judge how many micrograms or what ever unit of measurement of reservatrol per bottle I am getting for each dollar spent.

Wine is an alcoholic beverage resulting from the fermentation of grapes or grape juice. The word comes from the Latin vinum (related to Greek οἶνος) - referring to both "wine" and the "vine". Wine-like beverages can also be made from other fruits or from flowers or grains. In this sense the word wine is used with a qualifier, for example, elderberry wine. The word wine by itself always means grape wine. This terminology is often defined by law.

I'm your number one fan. I've been watching you. I know that you drink a bottle of Dom Perignon after you finish your column each week.
