Abstract: Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, said many centuries ago: “let food be your \nmedicine.” Today, this quote still shows its value, amongst others by the !nding that \nred wine consumption attributes to a healthy life style, reducing the risk to develop \ncardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular diseases are one of the leading causes of death \nin many economically developed countries as well as in emerging economies.1 It has \nbecome a global epidemic problem, with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and, obviously, \naging as one of the major risk factors. Red wine might interfere with one or more of \nthese factors, and thus contribute in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.
