Cover Story: Red wine polyphenols include ones present in grapes as well as new polyphenols formed during the winemaking process. In red wine, the most important groups, and their representatives, are flavanols (catechin), stilbenes (trans-resveratrol), flavonols (quercetin), anthocyanins (malvidin-3-O-glucoside), and hydroxybenzoic acids (gallic acid). Many in vitro and in vivo studies have been conducted on the evaluation of the health effects of red wine polyphenols on cancer chemopreventive activities, neuroprotective effects, and their impact on cardiovascular diseases or gut microbiota in humans. In assessing the positive results of these studies, it can be concluded that there is high potential in the polyphenols of red wine; however, how to employ this potential in the most efficient way must be considered. View this paper
