Red wine: Exercise in a bottle?

Just a cautionary note: resveratrol is very poorly absorbed, so supplements do not get the blood levels up very much, and neither does red wine. The pharmaceutical industry has been working on molecular forms which are more readily absorbable.

I like Glenlivet myself...

[Lazlo in PA]

Amen brother. Single malt is the only way to fly.

[Lakeshark]

So, does this mean we have to drink a whole lot of it to absorb the good stuff?

:-)

[CrazyIvan]

Beer has done a good job of keeping me from suffering from weightlesness

[dfwgator]

Think I’ll go drink me a marathon.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Sheeesh...poor cold water on good news (which we get little enough of these days as it is).

Just go with it, man...after a bit you won't even care about absorption. ;-)

[derllak]

I’ll drink to that!

I’m hoping cheetos will have the same effect.

[The Iceman Cometh]

Red wine is more like ‘headache in a bottle’ for me. Migraine city.

[Lakeshark]

Pita chips have that affect.

They listen well too........

[derllak]

Lol!

Talking to your pita chips probably means you’ve had enough. :P

[stormer]

And one, and two, and three...

[Lakeshark]

Likewise, talking to your bottle of red wine.....

[Pharmboy]

Ha! Some great ones, folks...chuckling at office.

[Pharmboy]

Indeed...not a rare phenomenon at all (my wife has this, but reds don't bother me when I do drink them). Try this site for some answers.

So I guess when I tell people that I’m spending all weekend at the gym I won’t REALLY be lieing.

“Migraine City”

Me too! Even a half a glass gives me a migraine.

[ottbmare]

If the wine does not deliver enough resveratrol to increase blood levels, then what is the explanation for the apparent positive clinical effects red wine has in humans?

BTW, here's an article about Glenmorangie's new offering. It's a single malt that was made in 1981 and aged for almost 29 years. It's called 'Pride' and it costs $3,600 a bottle. Only 1,000 bottles produced. Crystal bottle, wooden case, etc...
