  A chemical in red wine called resveratrol has been shown to have both cardioprotective and chemoprotective effects in animal studies. Low doses of resveratrol in the diet of middle-aged mice has a widespread influence on the genetic levers of aging and may confer special protection on the heart.

  Population studies have observed a J curve association between wine consumption and the risk of heart disease. This means that heavy drinkers have an elevated risk, while moderate drinkers have a lower risk than non-drinkers. Also, the studies have found increased health benefits for red wine over white wine, including cancer protection. Researchers suspect that this may be because red wine contains more polyphenols than white wine.
