According to a research done by scientist Neil Shay there is a component that is not found in wine called ellagic acid. This component helps reduce fatty liver. For those who don't know a fatty liver is the leading cause of obesity, and yes I said it is not found in wine. Where it is found though is in the oak barrel in which wine is stored! Therefore if you want all the health benefits in wine then you need to find yourself wine that has been aged in oak! The issue with wines today is that many of them have been fabricated in labs with artificial smells in order to mass produce a product that is in high demand! Therefore you must be selective with which wine you put into your body! This is not an excuse to not work out but it is an interesting fact I would say!
