10. Dionysus, who is the God of grape, wine and intoxication,
is the child of Zeus and the Moon’s mortal goddess, Semele.
He was popular, lived happily & wanted to see happy
people around him.
After he was killed, his rescued heart was planted by his father and
vine was growing from it, so grape became the symbol of happiness.
11. The wine culture comes from
Mesopotamia. Later by the Phoenicians
and Carthaginians it was moved to Europe.
The development of vineyards was the most
spectacular in the Roman Empire by the
soldiers and in Greek earth by cult of Dionysus.
12. Already in the Middle Ages wine
equestrian orders developed.
Their aim is to cultivate the
cult of the wine and the
traditions of the wine regions
with practicing the knightly
virtues: loyalty, dedication,
moderation.
Bacchus Wine Order of the
International Association of FICB
was founded in 1960, in Paris.
13. What’s the secret of wine?
It contains many
polyphenols, including
resveratrol, and its most
biologically active form,
trans-resveratrol.
14. The list of antioxidants*
• Vitamins:
– ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
– tocopherol (Vitamin E)
– retinol (Vitamin A)
• Plant antioxidants: • Minerals:
– catechins (green tea) – selenium
– curcuminoids – manganese
– ellagic acid (berries) – copper
– polyphenols: – zinc
• flavonoid phenols
• non-flavonoid • Others:
phenols – CoQ10,
– RESVERATROL – estrogens
* The list is not complete
15. • Plants produce polyphenols in
order to protect themselves
against infections!
• This special resveratrol can be found in the largest
amount in vine-shoot and grape peel.
16. • Those grapes
which have thicker skin,
contain much resveratrol.
• Those grapes grown in
cooler climates have higher resveratrol levels
than those from warmer climes.
• Grapes grown in humid areas have more
resveratrol than those grown in dry climates.
• Grapes which contain the highest
resveratrol are St. Laurent and Pinot Noir*.

17. It’s important to use multi-approach to antioxidants!
In the course of a study* resveratrol was compared to vitamin E and a
synthetic antioxidant. However all the substances proved to be effective in
eliminating free radicals, it was resveratrol which offered the greatest
protection against certain kinds of free radicals.

18. Mouse and rat experiments had
remarkable results!*
– Overweight mice treated with resveratrol, in spite of having
excess weight, remained in approximately in the same health
and physical condition as those of normal constitution. But it
does not mean that resveratrol eliminates all of the drawbacks of
obesity; **
– Mice treated with resveratrol live much longer than
expected***.
*The results has not been proved in human experiments yet!

resveratrol you should drink at least 30-50 (!!!) litres of
