White Wine with polyphenols

Researchers at Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology, have developed a way to boost white wine polyphenols giving white wine with the same health benefits as red wine. The wine, from Israel, has boosted levels of plant chemicals which are thought to combat heart disease.

Red wine is naturally fortified with the polyphenol compounds, which are concentrated in grape skins. Fermenting the skins of grapes along with their juice gives red wine its color, and antioxidant properties.White wine is not made with grape skins and therefore lacks health-giving polyphenols.
The polyphenol-charged wine looks and tastes the same as regular white wine but has the same antioxidant activity as red wine.

Israeli wine manufacturer Binyamina has now started using the recipe to manufacture the healthier white wine. It is expected to be on sale in the US by the end of the year.
