WHOLESALE
W I N E S

Red wine (but not white)has about the same antioxidant capacity as purple grape juice or tea. French research shows that drinking wine, primarly red, in moderation increases longevity.

Excessive drinking cuts life short.

Olive oil is a major part of a Mediterranean diet, shown to help reduce death from heart disease and cancer. Heart-attack survivors on a Mediterranean diet had half the death rates of those on an ordinary low-fat diet, recent research shows. Olive oil, unlike other vegetable oils, is high in antioxidant activity.
