Are the health benefits to drinking white wine the same as red? |

A step-by-step "how-to" instruction.
No...just red.
It's pretty well established that red wine (not white) is a particularly rich source of antioxidants flavonoid phenolics; many studies to uncover a cause for red wine's effects have focused on its phenolic constituents, specifically resveratrol and the flavonoids. Resveratrol, found in grape skins and seeds, increases HDL (the good kind) cholesterol and help prevent blood clotting. A study published by the Journal of Carcinogenesis reported that lab rat fed Resveratrol developed prostate tumors at a much lower rate than mice fed on a normal diet. Flavonoids, also found in dark chocolate and other foods, exhibit antioxidant properties helping prevent blood clots and plaques formation in arteries.
