Since the dawn of the 20th century, the average life expectancy at birth has nearly doubled due to advances in science and medicine. As medical records grew more reliable, it became apparent that, while overall life span was increasing, there were significant epidemiological differences between geographical regions, with people from countries such as Japan, France, and Switzerland enjoying longer life expectancy as compared to other regions of the world. The causative factors for these disparities in both mortality and morbidity have been attributed not only to genetics but also to the contributions of highly variable lifestyle and environmental influences. 1 Barring differences in modernization and public health policy, diet is the most significant epidemiological factor cross-culturally and is thought to be a profoundly important contributor to health and overall well-being.Prior to the early 1990s, there was a general consensus in support of the belief that moderate alcohol consumption significantly lowered the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). 2 However, it was not clear whether this was true of all alcoholic beverages or which constituents in the drinks were responsible for these beneficial properties. 3 In 1992, Siemann and Creasy 4 reported that resveratrol (1) was present in significant
