Ask Wine Spectator Q: Which wines have the most resveratrol? Do rosés and white wines have resveratrol?—Rachel, Burbank, Calif. A: Resveratrol is one of the most studied polyphenols in wine, and scientific research has indicated that it may have many protective properties. Resveratrol content in wine is directly tied to the wine's exposure to grape skins during the winemaking process, so red wines, which undergo maceration with the grape skins, are typically higher in resveratrol than rosés and white wines.
Wines made from grapes with thicker skins, like Malbec and Petite Sirah, are likely to have higher resveratrol contents, says Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, professor of nutritional medicine at Columbia University. "Because [grape] skin is kept during some of the production of rosé wines, those types of wines would also have some resveratrol, although [not as much as] red wines." Skin-contact white wines (aka orange wines) will also contain higher levels of resveratrol than conventionally made white wines.
Wine is not the only source of resveratrol, however. Regular non-fermented grape juice is high in resveratrol, as are peanuts and peanut butter, cocoa and chocolate, and blueberries and cranberries.—Shawn Zylberberg Have a question about wine and healthy living?

In 1999, a man by the name of Agostino Lenci had an idea to produce high-quality, organic wines from the new up-and-coming wine region of Maremma Toscana. Located in the southwest part of Tuscany, the region has transformed from rugged frontier to a winemaking oasis located right on the Mediterranean Coast. Agostino's mission was to create a winery that showcased how both native and international grape varietals could thrive here while also paying respect to the land with sustainable and organic practices. The winery received its official organic certification in 2016 and continues to receive critical acclaim from critics all over the world. Most recently, one of the flagship wines of the estate, Poggio Bestiale, received a 90 point score from Wine Spectator for their 2014 vintage. Learn more.

They examined whether a man's alcohol consumption can impact a couple's ability to conceive.
