A white wine which is as beneficial to health as red wine has been developed by scientists.
The Israeli wine contains enhanced levels of plant chemicals which are believed to fight heart disease.
Researchers from Technion, the Israeli Institute of Technology, found that they were able to fortify white wine with health-giving polyphenol compounds.
Red wine is naturally fortified with the compounds, which are concentrated in grape skins.
The fermentation process releases the polyphenols, giving red wine its colour and its antioxidant properties.
So how do you solve the moral dilemma - is it a glass of white or a glass of red the doctor ordered??
