Ahhh, the "million dollar" question. I taste hundreds of different wines monthy from all over the world, ranging from $6 to $160 and some bottles more expensive than that. We all have our budgets when scouring the isles at the wine store to find the wine that pleases your palate or completes a marriage with your favorite cuisine. But does price always dictate the quality of the juice? Will your significant other feel special because you paid more than usual for your Saturday night vino? |

SCIENTISTS are saying a glass of wine could help prevent sunburn and skin cancers. The scientists say special compounds in the grapes used to make the tipple can protect skin. The
breakthrough is good news for those who like a glass of vino or Sangria
on their summer holidays. Experts say the discovery could even help
them develop super drugs to protect holidaymakers from cancers and
burns. The Spanish study found that substances in grapes reduced cell damage caused by the sun. Some
grapes can help stop skin molecules from reacting to ultraviolet rays
which cause sunburn, according to the researchers at the University of
Barcelona and the Spanish National Research Council. |
