Cheers! An Aussie doctor has answered our prayers and invented a healthy wine.

The doctor’s tipple contains 100 times the amount of antioxidants found in normal wine and can actually reduce the drinker’s risk of having a heart attack.

The wine’s health benefits result from its high content of Resveratrol (an antioxidant contained in grape skins) which helps clear fatty deposits from arteries.

Resveratrol also reduces blood sugar, lowers the risk of various cancers and has anti-inflammatory properties.

We couldn’t help suspecting that a healthy wine may not equal a tasty wine but luckily, the antioxidant has no smell or taste.

This means that this healthy super-wine keeps its characteristic winey deliciousness in addition to its positive effects!

Dr Norrie, who has written eight books on wine, is now talking to two of Australia's big four wine companies to use his methods in their wine making.

If you ever needed a reason to raise your glass during the festive season, then this is it!
