Abstract: The article discusses the impact of wine components on health. Wine has been an integral part of our culture for 8000 years. Since ancient times, wine has been known to have excellent healing properties. Free radicals are constantly formed in the processes occurring in a living organism and they often have a harmful effect on the body. Free radicals are one of the main causes of aging, as well as dangerous cardiovascular and oncological diseases. Wine contains biologically active phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties that are important for human health. Red wines, made by the traditional Georgian method, are especially rich in them. Determining the antioxidant activity of wine is an important task. Attention is focused on the importance of resveratrol as an enhancer of vital biological processes, such as: inhibition of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, which has a significant effect on atherosclerosis; protection of DNA from oxidative damage, protection of the vascular system by strengthening capillaries, etc. It is important to seek scientific foundations for improving the quality of wine and obtaining competitive finished products on the world market.
