Today there is one more reason you should be sure to get your daily merlot. Researchers from the University of Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council have discovered that a chemical found in grapes can limit cellular damage done by the sun. Details of the study can be found in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.*
Well, what else can I do other than crack open another bottle?
This is also helpful for my up-coming holiday to California...

I'm gonna have a go at this and show just how little I know about this subject, but isn't the stuff found in red grapes, but not white, free-radicals, the same stuff that is in tea?
Free-radicals help slow the aging process somehow, the same process that UV speeds up.
I could* be wrong though, and exactly how much red wine (or tea) a day one would have to consume to have any affect at all, I wouldn't have a clue**. A litre? A bucket? 5 gallon?
*will be
**like the rest of the comment
