It true that red wine is good for one’s health?
As long as it’s not abused, red wine can, indeed, have a beneficial effect on your health.

More recently, they’ve discovered two other classes of antioxidants that further contribute to the well being of the drinker. The first, called saponins, act to prevent the absorption of cholesterol in the body while the second, resversatrol, is thought to inhibit tumor development in some cancers.
