There are significant health benefits to drinking (moderate amounts, people!!!) wine. Well documented mind you ... decreased risk of the following: coronary disease, certain types of cancers such as lung and prostrate, dementia (hmmm ... there is a joke in there somewhere), strokes, diabetes, such on and so forth. I've fully taken to drinking wine, and I am hoping to convince others who haven't enbraced the grape to give it a go.
However, if you chose not to believe the health benefits, then how about another reason? Savanna Sampson, recipient of a porn Oscar, has started her own label. Yes, a porn star is making her own wine. I do wonder if Ridgway knows her by sight.
Italian blend, and Robert Parker (self-proclaimed wine expert, and for $$$ he'll give you his opinion) rated it fairly highly. No word on whether bias was used in Parkers' decision making process.

That does sound like a good bottle of wine, but as far as health benefits are concerned, I'm really interested in Ms. Sampson's box. Aparently, some of the chemicals that account for wine's healthfulness tend to oxidize (and disappear) quite quickly - sometimes mere hours after the bottle has been opened. The solution? Box wine.
hhuhh ... hhuhh ... hhuuhh ... You said "box" ...
Several of the compounds isolated from red wine, in particular, have been used in murine models as well as tumor assays using human cell lines, think the HeLa cell lines.
